Happy Veterans Day from all of us here at San Carlos Elms.

Today we honored our Resident Veterans with a Ceremony.

San Carlos Boy Scout Troop 321 help in this ceremony, posting the flags, singing patriotic songs and a bugle player.

Each Resident was given either a flag pin with a red, white and blue ribbon (veterans) or a poppy with a ribbon (spouses) to thank them for their service.

The Residents enjoyed Troop 321's visit today.

Boy Scout Troop 321 did a wonderful job and all the Residents appreciated them participating in today's ceremony.

Betty (in red), "Everyone did a great job. And, like last year all the memories came like a flood,causing a flood of tears - both of sadness & joy. Thank you for all your kind & heartfelt work."
