The American flag and the flags of every branch of the military flew proudly at SOUL Harbour Ranch today as we were honored to host our Veterans BBQ for veterans, active-duty military members, and their families. The day was filled with heartfelt camaraderie, delicious food, meaningful conversations, and special visits with our therapy animals. We shared a touching moment of silence in memory of Bob Lick, as his daughter Laura spoke about his remarkable service as a B-24 waist gunner in the World War II Army Air Forces. We were also thrilled to celebrate our volunteer and friend, Gina Stramaglio, who will soon be promoted to Colonel in the U.S. Air Force. Each veteran received a SOUL Challenge Coin as a small token of our gratitude and appreciation for their service and sacrifice. It was especially wonderful to welcome many new veterans to the ranch, and hearing one guest say, “You made my year,” reminded us why these gatherings are so meaningful. Thank you to all who have served and continue to serve our country—we are forever grateful. 🇺🇸❤️🐴🐾
