Ralph Marrinson, the owner of the Marrinson Senior Care Residences, speaks to the facility’s residents about the importance of honoring veterans during a salute to veterans event in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., May 3, 2016. The event took place as a part of Fleet Week Port Everglades which lasts from May 2-8, and will give the community of South Florida the opportunity to interact with the Marines and Sailors from several fleet ships as well as see up-close and personal some of the capabilities and equipment the Marine Corps employs.
