U.S. Navy WAVES veteran Anna Sprick Smith, 90, was among those marking Veterans' Day this week at a Lake City Nursing Home program.
Preparing to sing patriotic songs along with the residents were Uncle John Kirkwood (himself a veteran of the military police), Aunt Mavis Sprick (Uncle Joe, a Navy veteran, was out in a deer stand) and Aunt Katie Kirkwood.
Anna proudly wore her U.S. Navy hat, a gift from Aunt Florence. Katie explained the proceedings to Anna and lovingly helped her with her root beer float. It's hard to say how much Anna takes in these days; she doesn't say much, but retains her sweet smile and gracious manners. To read about Anna's military career, go
