MURRIETA – For David Galey, age 95, Veterans Day stirs up a host of memories. He served in the US Army achieving the rank of Corporal Technician during the Korean War. Galey, a resident of Vineyard Place, is one of 5 veterans who shared their stories with local students during a commemorative walk at the community located at 24325 Washington Ave., Murrieta.
Students from Our Lady of Fatima Home School spent the afternoon learning about their sacrifices and bravery. The group enjoyed refreshments after the walk.
“This was a meaningful exchange of gratitude and connection across the generations,” said Chris Balmes, life engagement director for Vineyard Place. “We hope that the students will come away with a new respect for the elders and be in awe of their patriotism, dedication and bravery.”
