November 2026\t<\/h2>\n<h3>\n\t\t\t&#8211; The Letters of Gratitude will be displayed on The Betsy Orb as part of the city&#8217;s America 250 celebration culminating on Veterans Day &#8211; \t<\/h3>\n\t<p><strong>Miami Beach, Florida<\/strong> &#8211; The City of Miami Beach, in partnership with VFW Post 3559 and powered by the Badger platform, is hosting a high-tech, letter-writing campaign featuring<strong> Elektronische Dankesbotschaften und -videos, die auf die ikonische Betsy-Kugel projiziert werden.<\/strong> <strong>jeden Abend vom 7. bis 10. November im Vorfeld des Veteranentags<\/strong>. Obwohl jeder teilnehmen kann, werden viele der Beitr\u00e4ge voraussichtlich von Schulkindern und Familien aus der Region stammen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The freedoms we enjoy as Americans were secured through the extraordinary courage, sacrifice and selflessness of the men and women who answered the call to serve,&#8221; said <strong>Steven Meiner, B\u00fcrgermeister von Miami Beach<\/strong>. &#8220;As we celebrate 250 years of American independence, this initiative is a powerful reminder that our freedom is not free, and those who defend it are owed a debt of gratitude that can never truly be repaid.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The four-day Letters of Gratitude event will kick off with a sunset bugler playing &#8220;Retreat&#8221; on <strong>Samstag, 7. November um 17:30 Uhr. <\/strong>au\u00dferhalb des Haupteingangs zu <strong>Das Betsy Hotel, 1440 Ocean Drive<\/strong>. The bugle call will be broadcast simultaneously in two other sections of the city &#8211; Lincoln Road and Pennsylvania Avenue as well as 73 Street and Ocean Terrace in North Beach. A recording of &#8220;Retreat&#8221; will be replayed at 5:30 p.m. during the subsequent evenings in all three locations.<\/p>\n<p>Die Projektionen werden am 7. November von 18:40 Uhr bis 23:00 Uhr auf dem Betsy Orb gezeigt, einer kugelf\u00f6rmigen Himmelsbr\u00fccke und einem architektonischen Wahrzeichen, die das Betsy mit seinem Schwesterhotel, dem ehemaligen Carlton Hotel in South Beach, verbindet. An den darauffolgenden Abenden sind die Projektionen auf dem Orb jeweils von 18:00 Uhr bis 23:00 Uhr zu sehen.<\/p>\n<p>The public is also invited to attend two screenings of a short documentary and multimedia film: &#8220;Nothing Can Be Done, But Something Can Be Said&#8221; inside The Betsy on Nov. 7 at 7 and 8 p.m. The documentary was created in partnership with The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus. The title of the film was based on a poem by three-time Pulitzer Prize finalist, W.W. II veteran and soldier-poet Hyam Plutzik, whose life and legacy inspire the hotel&#8217;s commitment to arts, culture and community. The film uses poetry and World War II letters to reflect on wartime sacrifice, family and remembrance.<\/p>\n<p>During an invitation-only ceremony inside the Betsy on Nov. 7, U.S. Air Force Col. Wesley Hales of U.S. Southern Command will present Miami Beach Vietnam War veteran USAF Sgt. James E. Anderson with a new set of medals to replace ones that were lost during the sergeant&#8217;s return trip home from Da Nang, Vietnam to his previous residence in Philadelphia at the conclusion of his service some 50 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>W\u00e4hrend seines Dienstes erlitt der Soldat schwere Verletzungen, die seine Lungenfunktion beeintr\u00e4chtigten. Im vergangenen Juli wurde Anderson dank der gemeinsamen Bem\u00fchungen des Bruce W. Carter Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center VA Days und des VFW-Postens 3559 in Miami Beach die Invalidenrente nach \u00a7 100% bewilligt. <strong><em>Medienvertreter, die an diesem Teil der Veranstaltung teilnehmen m\u00f6chten, sollten sich bei der Stadtverwaltung melden. <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"\/de\/melissaberthier@miamibeachfl.gov\/\"><strong><em>melissaberthier@miamibeachfl.gov<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Miracles happen when a band of brothers and sisters come together to help their own,&#8221; said <strong>Oberstleutnant a.D. Jackie Tam<\/strong>, commander of VFW post 3559. &#8220;It will be an emotional moment for the sergeant to finally receive the honors he has rightfully earned after so many years of waiting. We are proud to stand by him and help bring this long-awaited chapter of his life to a meaningful conclusion.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Die Initiative \u201eBriefe der Dankbarkeit\u201c wird von Badger unterst\u00fctzt, einer Plattform, die von einem Marine-Veteranen aus Miami Beach entwickelt wurde. <strong>Alex Kruger-Dobrota<\/strong>, der sich an das erhebende Erlebnis erinnert, Briefe von der Grundschule zu erhalten, an der seine Mutter w\u00e4hrend seines Einsatzes in Afghanistan Schulleiterin war.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Through Badger, a handwritten note or short video can travel from anywhere to a veteran who needs to hear it. Every message becomes part of a public salute that starts in Miami Beach and keeps growing,&#8221; Kruger-Dobrota said. &#8220;I created Badger to connect people through shared experiences, and Letters of Gratitude brings that purpose to life. Our goal is to make this an annual national program, and we&#8217;re already expanding its reach through the VFW Department of Florida, which is hosting the live feed for posts across the state and its 54,000 combat veteran members.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zus\u00e4tzlich zur Veranstaltung \u201eBriefe der Dankbarkeit\u201c veranstaltet die Stadt am Mittwoch, den 11.
