Veterans tribute was a good time

I had the honor of escorting my 88-year-old father to the WWII and Korean War Veterans Tribute recently at the Madonna Inn. Thanks to all who worked so hard to bring more than 250 veterans together for a wonderful time. Thanks to our elected officials who took the time to come as well.

From the music to the presentations, these veterans were honored for giving up so much to see that we get to live in this wonderful country of ours, enjoying so many freedoms.

A good time was had by all!

Becky Jorgeson, Santa Margarita
