I received this e-mail last night - it is a WOW! I will add the photo as soon as I get it loaded here.
Dear Jay and Kathleen- This afternoon we received a call from one of the couples that stayed with us for Veterans Day and they asked if we were going to be home, for they had something for us. Their “something” has blown us away. SMSgt Jody Martinez presented us with a flag that was part of “Operation New Dawn”. The flag was flown over Iraq on November 25, 2010 during a Special Operations Combat Mission in direct support of Operation New Dawn. Attached is a copy of the certificate and flag.
The certificate they presented with the flag stated that “This Flag is presented to the Chocolate Turtle Bed and Breakfast, Dallas and Nancy Renner , As a symbol of the Sovereign Power of the United States of America and the unshakeable resolve to keep our country safe.”
What a way to end 2010!!! It was our honor and privilege to have the Veterans with us for Veterans Day – thank you Kathleen for providing us with this memorable opportunity. The flag was the icing on the cake. Nancy and Dallas
