​We sincerely hope you were able to join us for our Memorial Day Ceremony at the Veterans Memorial located on GlenLakes Blvd., near the front entrance of GlenLakes on Monday, May 25, 2026, at 11:45 AM when the flag was returned to full staff by the Springstead High School Air Force JROTC Honor Guard.  We were also honored that State Representative Jeff Holcomb spoke glowingly.  As you can see above, it was very well attended.
 
Bob Henry solemnly extolled the 50 or so names of Veterans who have passed that were requested by GlenLakes residents using a dedicated email address notforgotten@glenlakesvets.org.  The Veteran’s name, service affiliation, and rank, if known, were read out loud, followed by the ring of our new ceremonial bell.  Reading the names of deceased veterans serves a deeper purpose. It restores an individual’s identity.  A name spoken aloud is a life acknowledged.  A person dies twice--once when their life ends and again when their name is spoken for the last time.  We all have a moral commitment "to remember them."

Healing unseen wounds through the comradery involved in the playing of golf is the goal of the Fairways For Warriors organization. Tampa Chapter Director, Jay Ellis, shared the mission of FFW, help combat wounded veterans of any era and to reduce the number of suicides in that population.
