Celebrating and thanking our Veterans

 

          As part of the B&Bs for Vets program in North America, we celebrated a wonderful evening with our four veteran couples, 3 Army and 1 Air Force with a total of 61 years of military service!  They were all given flowers by Pealers, our downtown florist and a box of velvety mints by Peter Matangos of Matangos Candies in Harrisburg.  Also, four of our local restaurants treated each couple to a special dinner: Market Cross Pub, Andalusia, Cafe Bruges and Trattoria Piatto.

          Our local paper, The Sentinel, featured the B&Bs for for Vets program and our special guests on the front of today's paper.

    We thank them all and every veteran who have all given so much so that we and others can live free!

     Lucky for the Carlisle downtown, we in the South end got off lightly!  We did have the very heavy winds and stronger gusts, and of course the rain.  Fortunately though, no wind damage and even our old stone basement stayed dry.  The streets were fairly empty as the Mayor and Governor Corbett had restricted traffic in Carlisle and on the SE interstates.

     We understand that areas of southern PA around Lancaster and York had heavy damages.  We wish all the PA residents and those of NJ, NY and NYC as well as other damaged areas a quick return to normalcy.
