To the editor,

Please accept my deep appreciation and deep gratitude to all who helped make the Nov. 2 event to honor the Veterans of the Benjamin D. Cushing Post 2425 and the Ladies Auxiliary an overwhelming success.

This first phase of the fundraising campaign to repair the veterans pavilion parking lot would not have been possible without the contributions and dedication from organizations, sponsors and individuals. Because of your generosity we are well on our way.

I salute and commend you all. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Colonel Arnold Briggs
