Village of Estero Veterans Day Celebration
There was something for everyone at this year’s Veterans Day celebration at Estero Community Park: free hot dogs, chips & cookies, face painting for children, an American classic and muscle car show, mini-musicals featuring songs reminiscent of World War II, the Korean, Vietnam and Gulf Wars, and an endearing performance by the New Horizons of Southwest Florida Children’s Choir.
District 5 Councilmember Rafael Lopez served as master of ceremonies, Mayor Jon McLain gave a warm welcome, and U.S. Congressman Byron Daniels gave an inspiring speech before introducing the esteemed keynote speaker Lt. Gen. Gary Speer. Approximately 500 residents were in attendance to pay tribute to our veterans, active military, first responders and Gold Star families.
