Thumbs up The Villages Golf Cars - Colony

My wife and I would like to publicly thank LiAnne Ricciarelli and the staff at The Villages Golf Cars, Colony Plaza. Our son just returned from Afghanistan and was able to visit us for one day in August. We needed a four seat golf car and decided to rent one at the Colony location. I was so excited that our son had returned safely; I may have done a little bragging about his service and the military service of three of our other children as well. When I went back to the store with my son to pick up the golf car, they told me it would be free for the day and then gave him a card thanking him for his service! Your heartfelt thoughtfulness has not gone unnoticed. We were all a little misty-eyed. Our deepest gratitude and thanks to you for welcoming him home. Gestures like this make transition to civilian life a little easier. It meant so much to him and so much to me as a Vietnam Veteran. God bless America and God bless The Villages Golf Cars staff.

What an awesome act of recognition for your family's service and our military. That truly was a wonderful reward and says mountains for the staff. God Bless our military and all they do to keep us save and free. And many thanks to those who acknowledge it! Well done LiAnne and Villages Golf Cars!

Yes, a heart felt thanks to all the Veterans who give up so much for us. Great job Villages Golf Cart. Classey and thoughtful. It is always wonderful to hear about the good things going on in our world. Too often the bad & sad happenings get all the headlines.

Default Thank you for you service

We bought one of our carts from The Villages Golf Cars in SS and found them to be great to work with. It was kind of them to recognize your son and his service for our country. Thank him for his sacrifice and God bless!!
