Residents, associates and family members of Market Street Viera gathered with their neighbors from Indian River Colony Club, a military community, to pay their respects with a patriotic ceremony. Teresa Ortiz recognized each veteran in their respective branches of the military, thanking them for their service and sacrifice. Market Street Viera veterans proudly stood alongside their military photos displayed on the community's Veterans Wall of Honor, which was ceremoniously unveiled last November.

Executive Chef Manny served an array of traditional, savory Thanksgiving dishes followed with a variety of mouth-watering pies. Resident veterans' spotlights were displayed throughout the room and live music by Fred Cavese filled the air as guests enjoyed the feast.
