Thankfulness….

With Thanksgiving coming up and Veteran’s Day just passed, it is important to remember that ‘Thankfulness’ is a conscious decision. A dad planted the seeds of gratitude, honor and patriotism in his young son with a visit to the Avon Veterans Memorial on Veterans Day last week. In these challenging times, let’s take the high road and remember our blessings.

The City of Avon hosted a simple and dignified Veterans Day Program to honor all Veterans.  It took place on Wednesday, November 11th at 5 p.m. at the Veterans Memorial behind the Avon Fire Station.

“It was brief and dignified, a class act, typical for Avon,” said one vet in attendance. “Another reason why I am glad to live in Avon. It was good to see our Police Officers there looking sharp. As I was walking back to my car a young boy ran up to me with a big smile on his face and said, “Sir, thanks for your service!” We exchanged salutes, while his father and younger brother beamed.  It was a good evening.”
