Saddlebrooke Rotary Club Veteran’s Lunch
Two Wars…Two Clubs…One Veteran’s Day Celebration
    On November 12th, the Saddlebrooke Rotary Clubs celebrated their 4th annual Veteran’s Day Gala at Saddlebrooke One Vista’s Dining Room.   A big thanks to Emerson Knowles for his hard work arranging this historic appreciation lunch and presentation.  Both the Saddlebrooke Rotary Club and the Saddlebrooke Sunrise Rotary Club joined together to host the event.  Close to ninety guests made up of Rotary members, Veterans from both WW11 and the Korean Wars, were in attendence.
     Shervic Prouse from Team RWB (Red White & Blue) and 22- year Navy Officer, spoke about her Grandfather who fought in WW11 alongside US Troops.  This remarkable man was part of the underground that hid soldiers that fought to liberate The Philippines.  Shervic was overcome with emotion thanking the Veterans that honored us with their presence at our lunch.  She was in tears when she showed appreciation to them for keeping her family safe.  In fact, Shervic’s daughter enlisted in the armed forces the week of Veteran’s Day.  Let us never forget the men and women who fought to keep us liberated and safe.
