Tropic Star Holds Fourth Annual Event to Honor Veterans

Submitted by Sandra Stone

Tropic Star RV Resort honored 24 veterans by presenting them with patriotic lap-style quilts Sunday,

March 5. The quilts are designed and constructed by the quilters of Tropic Star. This is the fourth year of the project honoring our veterans. A total of 132 quilts have been presented. The quilt includes a label that reads, “One Quilt to Warm You, Thousands of Stitches to Thank-you!”

One World War II veteran shared the story that his mother was a “5- star mother” because she had five sons who served our country. Each veteran has his or her own story of dedication and service. We honor and appreciate their sacrifices. •
