It was a day to salute those that served our country. As we gathered in ceremony at the Miami Springs War Memorial on Tuesday, November 11th 2025 in the chilly weather. The wind chill factor had us about ten degrees colder. But it was worth it as it gave a chance for our flags to wave even higher. Mayor Walter Fajet hosted the event, and the rest of the Miami Springs city council members were in attendance. As well as the Virginia Gardens mayor Spencer Deno IV and former Miami Springs mayor Maria Puente Mitchell.

My Country, ‘Tis of Thee, sweet land of liberty. The United States of America is what it is today because of the heroes that valiantly served. So we take a day to remember them, with hand shakes, salutes, and flags waving high. There were many veterans in attendance, and there were smiles all around. The Color Guard presented arms and the Miami Springs Police Department as well as the Village of Virginia Gardens Police Department were there to honor our comrades. Even the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts were a part of the ceremony. An event to remember, as we remember those that served the United States military with pride.

As I step into the role of the publisher of River Cities Gazette. I reflect on how my father Tom started the newspaper when I was two years old. I have been surrounded by the Gazette my entire life. Born and raised in Miami Springs. My father was my little league coach, we were the Padres. I went to Springview Elementary as a young one. I graduated from Miami Springs Senior High School as a part of the school newspaper. The Zeitgeist was the name of the paper. It refers to the moral and cultural climate of the specific era. I was a writer and the photographer of The Zeitgeist. I graduated with honors in 1996. I attended University of South Florida in Tampa and received my associates of arts degree. For the last twenty five years, I have been the assistant publisher of the River Cities Gazette. It was the plan from the start for me to take over the helm. As the Gazette is a family business. I am ecstatic to announce. That day has come. My passion, my dedication, my focus and my drive has been the River Cities Gazette for the majority of my adult life. As I continue the legacy of greatness passed down to me by my father Tom Curtis. And take over the reins as a true leader. Ready to tackle any issue that comes my way. Thanks to God, I have the strength to do so.
