Colonel honored as one of ‘12 Who Care’
For Five Star Veterans Center CEO Col. Len Loving USMC Ret., it was a night out with friends and family, enjoying an award show production and observing outstanding fellow citizens as they took home awards for their selfless acts. Unbeknownst to him, he was about to take home the Lifetime Achievement Award during the taping of the “12 Who Care” awards banquet, produced by First Coast News, Sept. 23, at Alhambra Dinner Theatre & Dining.
Loving was recognized and praised for his tireless advocacy for veterans from all branches of service to have a place to call home and a reprieve from life’s difficulties. Alongside his partner and wife, Suzie, the pair has been making sure the lights stay on, and relief remains in sight for those needing their services. Upon receiving the award, Loving thanked his fellow service members and members of the leadership team, while making sure to honor his wife, Suzie. “She’s my best partner and my worst critic,” he shared, smiling from ear to ear.
