Sophie and Rhys had the special opportunity to honor their loved ones at their school's Hero's Day. In the spirit that accompanies Veteran's Day, they have chosen to remember those who have dedicated their lives for the greater good. Helpers in our community, including firefighters, police officers, and service persons were honored for their efforts and sacrifice.
Sophie and Rhys provided pictures of their paternal grandpa (or Opa) and paternal great-grandpa to honor them on the Hero's Wall. Rudy, their Opa, served in the Army as a very young man, and in the Costa Mesa Police Department later on. Their, great-grandpa, Waymon B., served his career in the Navy. He cooked for all those hungry sailors during times of war and peace.
We are thankful to these two men and their families for the sacrifices that they have made to help their fellowmen. We are also grateful for the veterans and service people who protect our freedoms. Additionally, we express gratitude to all those who reach beyond themselves to uplift and provide comfort and assistance to others. They all make this world a safer and better place.
