Miss Jones speaks at Memorial Day observance
SAN ANTONIO -- The Horizon Bay Retirement Living center held a Memorial Day observance and asked resident Kay Jones to speak. Retired after 25 years of service, the former career Navy nurse, who is known for her feistiness, related a brief story before the 20-30 residents and visitors in the audience.
She described a young service person whose busy day was interrupted by a civilian trying to find a location near the base. The soldier set out to help, hoping to finish quickly in order to make it to a social event on time.
The warrior’s perspective and priorities were adjusted when the journey led to a veteran's grave site, where the mother and child set down the fresh flowers they had brought.
Jones worships with the Northside congregation here.
