Re: Cariboo Wounded Warriors 2015.
I would like to thank Greg Sabatino for his coverage of our event last Sunday and his thoughtful and respectful interviews of our veterans.
I will apply one of the highest compliments that can be given to a ‘media-type’ by a military personnel: ‘He gets it.’ Thanks, Greg.
Cariboo Wounded Warriors 2015 is a wrap. Williams Lake hosted another event that left the attendees astounded at the level of hospitality they had received.
As the chair of our very small committee, of course I receive a lot of attention, but the truth is Williams Lake people bought into this righteous venture.
They are the ones who should be recognized and celebrated.
First, it’s great to have a vision, but it takes the ‘detail people’ to make it happen successfully: Georgette Rosk, Charlene Smythe, Marion Stuart and my personal backup and detailer for the past 40 years, my amazing wife, Grace.
Then comes the support of the many sponsors and support organizations that actually made it happen.
A very special thank you goes to Christina of Shaw TV who could see the development of something good in the making and documented this event from inception to completion.
