It’s tough to put into words just how much Martin “Marty” Zickert has done for the veterans of Indian River County, but a large group of well-wishers gave it their best try at a reception for him July 16 at the Veterans Club of Vero Beach. The retired Air Force colonel is taking what associates call a “leave of absence” from the presidency of the council, due to his wife, Penny’s, health issues.
