The Wounded Warriors Meet Bonaire’s Lt. Governor--Day Three
The Wounded Warriors have completed one more busy day on Bonaire. It appears they have taken to diving like fish to water, making three more dives on Tuesday, before meeting Bonaire’s Lt. Governor at a dinner party in their honor at his residence.
The evening started off with being escorted in a biker’s parade by the Bonaire Bikers Club. After boarding their Bonaire Tours bus, the bikers and warriors continued through the streets of Kralendijk, before ending at the residence of the island’s Lt. Governor.
There they were greeted by the second Lt. Governor, Edward Thielman, and his wife, Nydia, and Mrs. Domacasse, the wife of the first Lt. Governor, who, unfortunately, was away for state affairs. Also invited were all the event sponsors, so that the Warriors could meet them and thank them for their contributions.
After a time for socializing, there were a few short speeches by island dignitaries and certificates were awarded to all the Warriors. However, the Warriors had their own plans and then awarded plaques of recognition to all event sponsors, including a specially signed “warrior” t-shirt to Lt. Governor Thielman.
Then dinner was served, and afterward, the Warriors headed back to Captain Don’s Habitat to rest up for another day on Bonaire.
