VERO BEACH, Fla., Dec. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- At Market Street Memory Care Residence East Lake, residents and associates recently embarked upon a month-long movement of 'Giving Thanks,' part of a themed series of Watercrest's Common Unity initiatives. At Watercrest, Common Unity initiatives inspire a sense of community at each location, while fulfilling needs in their hometowns and supporting residents in staying connected in meaningful ways.

Market Street East Lake honored their military veterans with a Veteran's Day luncheon in recognition of their service and patriotism, and special guest, Don Morillon from American Legion Post 173 presented the community with a flag flown over the state capital. The spouses of veterans were also recognized with a special afternoon tea, with tables adorned with linens from the 1950's and 60's, elegant teacups and china saucers, and a surprise visit from American Legion Post #46 under Commander Edward L. Bard.
