Thank You for Your Service

Thank You to those who have served our country in
the past, the present and the future.

Today on Veteran's Day our resort honors the many men and women
who have served our country and Canada. There are only 1 or 2 WWII veterans 
who reside at Canyon Vistas. Quite a number of men served in
Korea, many men and some women in Viet Nam, and in times between, 
and only a few in the Gulf War.

Enjoy the parade of decorated golf carts and bicycles...
