Local veterans at the Seascape at Naples senior living community hosted their July monthly veterans' breakfast at the Naples Airport with guest speaker Aly Shultz, Volunteer Manager from Avow Hospice. With eight residents in attendance, each a veteran or wife of a veteran, the event included breakfast, a seminar on Veteran-to-Veteran volunteer opportunities, and a special viewing of a retired vintage aircraft.
This monthly get-together between veterans typically takes place at the Seascape at Naples senior living community where the veteran attendees reside. However, this month, the community looked to kick it up a notch by partnering with local organizations to provide an enhanced experience.
After joining in a delicious breakfast, Avow Hospice presented volunteer opportunities for veteran-to-veteran respite and companion support. Of course, being at the airport, the experience wasn't complete without a visit to the tarmac. The Naples Airport brought out a 1955 T-28C Trojan vintage aircraft for the attendees to view. Manufactured for the U.S. and other militaries, the T-28 saw service throughout the Vietnam War and other global conflicts, with this particular model designed for the U.S. Marines for aircraft carrier takeoffs and landings.
One of the residents in attendance was Glenna Hayhoe, the founder and former CEO of Avow Hospice. It was truly a full-circle moment to connect the company she founded and the community where she currently resides for this veterans event. Her late husband was a veteran, so her connection to the veteran experience brings her regularly to these monthly meetings.
The experience brought together both community partners and local veteran residents to celebrate what the Naples area has to offer and to honor our veterans for what they've done for this country.
“Originally founded as the Naples Army Airfield in 1943, the Naples Airport proudly pays tribute to our local veterans,” said Naples Airport Authority Executive Director Chris Rozansky. “The men and women of the U.S. military deserve our admiration and events like this are a small way for the Naples Airport Authority to show its appreciation.”
