We had a great 6 mile walk today. On our way up town to the War Memorial Park we stopped by Boats & Harbors to see the big boat anchor in the window. After stopping at the War Memorial Park we headed back towards the house. I want to thank my friend Robert for walking with us today. I want to thank everyone who honked, waved, and saluted in helping us honor this hero this morning. We had 122 honks. It was amazing. Thank You !

Navy Veteran Peter P. Haspert III will not be forgotten !
