At a moving ceremony Jan. 16 at the National Navy UDT SEAL Museum, Fort Pierce, more than 40 veterans were awarded special, hand-carved Purple Heart canes, as a tribute from the Indian River Woodcarvers Association to recipients of the Purple Heart Medal.

Woodcarvers Association member and Army veteran Lloyd Lasenby was master of ceremonies. “This is a labor of love for us,” he said. “We do it out of love and honor for our veterans.”
