Southwest Florida has earned a reputation for being really patriotic, especially when it comes to serving and honoring United States military veterans. On Thursday, thousands gathered across the region on Veterans Day to honor and celebrate those who served our country. CAPE CORAL Photo via Tribute to a Soldier website After a $15,000 donation for its restoration, the Tribute to a Soldier statue stands tall. Local business owners saw its crumbling base and were able to replace the statue’s foundation. The statue was joined by three new monuments just in time for Veterans Day: a 20-foot Purple Heart Memorial flag, a memorial plaque from the Korean War Veteran’s Association and a flag for Vietnam vets. The Purple Heart and a Korean War memorial are being dedicated Friday, as crowds flock to the Four Mile Cove Ecological Preserve on Southwest 23rd Terrace to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor.
