Honoring Our Veterans
By Janie Price
Project benefits children of wounded warriors
Because of the restrictions associated with COVID-19, our Angel Tree Project
is taking a different form this year. Instead of asking you to “adopt” a family that
has been vetted by Hope For The Warriors and buying presents for the children,
we will collect money instead. All funds will be turned over to Hope For The
Warriors, who will then buy, wrap and deliver gifts to those warrior families in
North Carolina that they have vetted.
As are so many others, our warrior families are struggling in these challenging
times, and this is an opportunity to bring a little cheer into their holiday season.
Your generous donation will be gladly accepted by December 8. A check made
payable to Kayak for the Warriors (K4TW) with “Angel Tree Project” on the
memo line can be placed in the drop box behind town hall or mailed to: Angel
Tree, Town of Pine Knoll Shores, 100 Municipal Circle, Pine Knoll Shores, NC
28512.
The Parks and Recreation Committee thanks you for your continued support of
this holiday project. Please contact BJ Peter at 252-646-8079 with questions.
2020 Pine Knoll Shores tribute cancelled
As we anticipated the possibility of a second wave of COVID-19, hard
decisions were made to cancel events and renew our determination to keep
ourselves and others safe. Among those events that won’t happen this year is the
Pine Knoll Shores Veterans Day tribute.
While the gathering at the Blue Star memorial may have been cancelled, let’s
not miss an opportunity to honor and thank those who currently defend our
freedoms as well as those who did so in the past and will continue to serve in
the future. Despite the challenges that 2020 has handed us, we are blessed to live
in this country that affords us freedoms not enjoyed in many other places in the
world.
The closing remarks that were planned for this year’s Veterans Day tribute say
it all:
It is our privilege to honor America’s veterans and celebrate them for
keeping this nation “the land of the free and the home of the brave.” The
price of freedom is high, and we cannot afford to forget those willing to
pay it. Let us renew our national promise to fulfill our sacred obligation
to our veterans and their families who have sacrificed so much so that
we can live free.
We are indebted to those who are serving or have served this country to
protect our freedoms. Sincerely thank them when you get the chance. Consider
anonymously paying a restaurant bill for a member of the military or donating
to the Pine Knoll Shores Angel Tree. Support Kayak for the Warriors. Letting
our active duty military and veterans know we value them and appreciate their
sacrifices is the least we can do.
