Freedom Fest Parade
Cape Coral had another great parade yesterday to honor our soliders and veterans. A majority of the elected officials stayed home.Civic extends a thank you to Mayor Feichthaler and Council members Bertolini and LePera for your participation in honoring these honorable people and thanking them for their service to our country.
Isn't it funny how we had more of these politicans participate in our last parade. Ah but yes, that was because there was an election coming up back then and they were counting votes. Yesterday's parade was a way to count blessings for the service of our veterans. Maybe counting votes is more important than counting blessings!

Memorial Day for me has always been a time to remember our veterans, especially those who have made the supreme sacrifice. This year, as in many years past, Alex and I attended the services at Coral Ridge Cemetery on Monday at 9 a.m. Later in the afternoon at 5 p.m. we attended the services at the Iwo Jima Memorial at Eco Park. Memorial Day for us is our way of thanking so many who have kept our freedoms sacred.
Maybe next year we can encourage more people to attend these events.
