The members and supporters of the Rotary Club of Lakewood Ranch finished their Veterans Day on a high note with an "Uncorked" fundraiser for Sarasota veterans. Hosted at Michael's On East, the Rotary Club honored local servicemen and women, raised funds for a silent auction, and heard and listened to an impassioned speech by retired Navy commander and Vietnam War prisoner of war Bradley Smith.
