Our next Fish Fry! June 5th! See you all in a few weeks! ❤️

Today our Veterans put on their uniforms and marched in the Naples Memorial Day Parade. Not for themselves but to pay their respects to those that can no longer put on the uniform. We honor and remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice so that we may enjoy our freedoms today and everyday.
Thank you to James R Moore Memorial VFW Post 8726 Auxiliary for the amazing float with names of those Killed in Action and for providing a space for our Veterans who are no longer able to march. ❤️
