The crowd-pleasing “Unconditional Surrender” statue will be a no-show for Veteran’s Day, as repair work has taken longer than expected.
With Veterans Day this weekend, it seemed to be the perfect time to highlight how we, at Southeastern Guide Dogs, honor our veterans.
In 2006 Southeastern Guide Dogs created a program that is near and dear to many people’s hearts because it serves our veterans. An extension of Southeastern’s mission of matching people with visual impairments with world class guide dogs, this program looked to serve veterans returning from war with visual impairments.

While Southeastern Guide Dogs’ primary focus remains providing top-notch guide dogs for …

"Most children didn't know who a veteran was, and most kids did not know the names of the five branches of service," Rothenberg tells Patch. Since 2000, Rothenberg has organized a large Veterans Day program at the school to put the faces of veterans in the community front and center so the kids can see who the veterans are that live in Sarasota and Manatee counties. Veterans from Sarasota and Manatee counties are invited to participate at the program scheduled to …
