On Thursday, July 24th, Coleman Court (place where Mom and Dad live) honored the Veterans that live in the complex. My Dad, Paul Saiz, was one of the honorees. Deb and I were glad to be able to attend along with our son Steve and our nephew Che Aguilar who was in town for the week to see Mom and Dad.
Coleman Court purchased shirts with their respective branch of serivce embroidered on it for the ceremony. The Mayor Pro Tem for the City of Torrance presented each of them with a Certificate of Appreciation for serving in the armed forces. They were then presented with medals that many of them did not receive during their tour of duty, in a shadow box. This was a very thoughtful and generous gift and I know Dad was very touched and I know it will add to his current collection of medals that includes the "Purple Heart" The day was capped off by the cutting of a huge cake that was made in their honor. Thank you Coleman Court. Thank you Betty D'Errico who is the manager of Coleman Court and who worked so hard to make this day a great success!
