With dozens of veterans at The Ridge Assisted Living Center in Holladay, one employee felt it was important to honor them for their service.
Each veteran was given an American flag pin and a certificate for their service at a ceremony held in the facility.Some of their photos are displayed on one of the walls."We used to carry a comb in our back pocket. We had wavy hair, we would comb it constantly. Then I got in there, they put me in a barber chair and cut it all off," Caputo said.Former fighter pilot Peter Arenskov flew off the U.S.S. Midway.
"It's a two seater. The pilot is up in the front seat, and the RIO — radio intercept officer — is in the back seat," he said."Well, I think they've gone overboard, overdoing the deal. But no! We appreciate it, it's great of them. It only happens once in a lifetime," he said."The Forrestal ended up having nine 1,000 pound bombs explode. It almost turned over and sank — and if it turned over, I wouldn't be here," George said.
In partnership with Mountain America Credit Union, KUTV wanted to help with more veteran programs for The Ridge. Spencer Carver with Mountain America handed $500 to Gulbransen, who said the facility will be having a party. Mountain America Credit Union donated $500 to The Ridge so they can continue to pay it forward.
