We had a great 5.82 Mile walk today. We was greeted with a beautiful sky this morning as we walked towards town. We made a stop by Boats & Harbors to see the boat anchor and then we headed to the War Memorial Park down town. Before headed home we walked by Mitchell’s Drug Store to see their beautiful display in their window and we made a stop at Flower’s Bakery to see our colors flying high . I want to thank everyone who honked, waved, and saluted in helping me honor this great hero. We had 167 honks. It was amazing. Thank You.
Navy PR2 Antonio Melchor Sr will not be forgotten !
