10 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | NOVEMBER 2019 All gave some, some gave all On Sept. 20, in honor of POW/MIA day, our Four Seasons Honor Roll Veterans Club honored WWII heroes who never returned home from that war. During their September Veterans Club meeting, Army veteran Len Tavernetti (Chairperson of Four Seasons HOA Board of Directors) reviewed the planned memorial event, which would include a convoy of approximately 20 participating veteran's vehicles and motorcycle escorts to the Redlands Hillside cemetery by both Beaumont Police department and members of the Hemet Chapter 53 American Legion Riders. On the morning of the event, Four Seasons Activities Director Cindy Graves and General Manager Eric Zarr joined with the veteran's convoy and motorcycle escorts in The Lodge parking lot. Although the veteran's convoy lacked a certain degree of military precision moving through heavy traffic, with the aid of Beaumont police officer S. Bronstrup and one energetic American Legion motorcycle-mounted Marine veteran escort, the convoy made its way to the cemetery in good order. Len Tavernetti lead the solemn ceremony. One by one, each of the missing World War II veteran's names was announced by our Four Seasons veterans and members of their family followed by the ringing of a lone bell. With the last name announced and the final note from the bell fading, those present rendered a military hand salute as TAPs was played by a Marine veteran bugler. Through the generous efforts and talents of the Four Seasons' Craft Group, each memorial marker had been adorned with an individualized banner and yellow ribbon. In the spirit of POW/MIA day, our Four Seasons Veterans kept faith with those still unaccounted for and acknowledged the sacrifice made by the soldiers, seamen, Marines, and airmen whose markers lay in the Redlands Hillside cemetery. ~ Dave Moreland and Glenn King On POW/MIA Day, members of the Four Seasons Veterans Group render honors to the MIA soldiers, sailors, Marines, and airmen of WWII.
