Just got this email from the Sarasota Veterans Council:
Congresswoman Katherine Harris will be in the Memorial Day parade and speaking at the ceremony following the parade. On this Memorial Day it is both fitting and proper to thank her for her work in getting us a new National Cemetery in Sarasota County.
It was only because of her personal involvement and dedication to veterans that we got Sarasota added to the list of cemeteries already in the Senate and House Veterans Affairs Committees. She worked with Senator Bob Graham and Representative Chris Smith to make our dream come true, a new National Cemetery in Sarasota.
If you have the chance to speak to her please thank her for her work. If you want to hold a home made sign that says "Thank you Katherine for our National Cemetery" I am sure none would object and she would most appreciate it.
This Memorial Day is special because we now have a location for our cemetery.
Thank you Katherine.
Please read my post #90

BTW there are over 400,000 veterans in a 75 mile radius of Sarasota & Venice FL where Katherine will be thanked at the Memorial Day Parade on Monday.
