Mission to Honor Veterans Event
.
Supervisor Turnboo attended the Mission to Honor Veterans event at Foothills Church in Cameron Park. The event is an opportunity for veterans to virtually experience the National War Memorials in Washington, D.C. without leaving their local area. The event included a number of presentations and activities created to honor the service of veterans. Supervisor Turnboo had lunch with a 99-year-old veteran named Salvatore Giovanni Gigante who was drafted by the U.S. Army in 1943 and shared stories about his time serving in WW2. During the war in the South Pacific, Gigante was stationed in Papua New Guinea and came down with Dengue Fever, but once recovered, Gigante would sustain a leg injury during a Japanese bombing attack. It was only much later in life that Gigante would receive the Purple Heart and Bronze Star for his service.
Supervisor Turnboo joined Supervisor Hidahl for a portion of the event dedicated to passing out pins and challenge coins as honoraria for the veterans. The stories told by the veterans were incredible and show the will and determination of our military. Both Supervisors honored each veteran they met and thanked each veteran for their service. Supervisor Turnboo's father was a military veteran who served in the Korean War as one of the Chosin Few, so Supervisor Turnboo recognizes the importance of honoring military veterans.
