Letters to the Editor

Thank you: For Bluffton Veterans Day Parade

The Bluffton American Legion and the Ladies Auxiliary is grateful for the wonderful community support for our Third Annual Veterans Day Parade.

Our special thanks to the Bluffton Fire District, the Bluffton Police Department and the Bluffton High School Bobcat band. The efforts of all the local business people, the SURF radio station, the individual antique car owners and the Boy Scout troops made sponsoring this parade all the more enjoyable.

To those parents that went the extra step to bundle up their little ones against the elements in order to have them watch and learn about patriotism, we truly applaud you.

The Legion family feels so fortunate to be part of such a caring and compassionate community.

To those in our town who chose to go to other parts of the county for parades and celebration, we hope to see you in our part of town at next year’s celebration.
