The Heart of Citrus: Operation Welcome Home gives heroes welcome to
returning service members
Editor’s Note: Citrus County is home to hundreds of non-profit organizations. Each issue will feature a different non-profit that is active in our
community. If you have suggestions of non-profits to feature, email your idea to [email protected]
Some people are called to teach, some are called
to lead. Others are called to serve and protect. An
elite group of people are called to all of these and
join our Armed Forces. Here in Citrus County we
are blessed by a large group of men and women
who do just that. Operation Welcome Home is an organization that
welcomes home the members of our Armed Forces
after they return from a tour of duty overseas. Whether it be a tour in Afghanistan or Iraq,
Operation Welcome Home provides a true hero’s
welcome to our local hometown heroes whom have
served in the war on terrorism. Started by Barbara Mills in 2007, Operation
Welcome Home helps our heroes adjust to civilian
life once they return home. Local businesses
contribute gift cards and services that are compiled
into welcome home baskets given to each hero. Gift
baskets overflow with items from local restaurants
and businesses. In addition to the gift basket,
Operation Welcome Home hosts welcome home
parties for each hero. At these parties, typically
held at an American Legion or VFW post, friends,
family, veterans, and community members are
invited out to thank the heroes for their service.
Recently, Operation Welcome Home in
partnership with the American Legion Post 155
hosted a Welcome Home ceremony for Lance
Corporal Joshua Langston White. White was
injured in Afghanistan in August of 2012, White
lost both of his legs as a result of the accident. As
in true Citrus County style, the months since the
accident held a large number of fundraising events
for White and his family. After spending several
months recovering at Walter Reed in Bethesda,
MD, White was finally allowed to return home to
Citrus County for a few weeks around the holidays. The community response to White’s homecoming
was so overwhelming that the welcome home party
that was originally planned to be held at American
Legion Post 155 was moved to the Crystal River
Armory – a much larger facility. A motorcycle
escort picked White up at his house and escorted
him down to the Armory, past hundreds of onlookers
waving flags and holding signs of support. Once inside the Armory, which was filled to
almost standing room only, White was greeted with
a standing ovation. Operation Welcome Home and
Post 155 organized the ceremony. Veterans groups
from across the county took turns presenting White
with various gifts and heartfelt gratitude for his
service and sacrifice. The Citrus County Board
of County Commissioners presented him with the
proclamation that made August 28, 2012, Joshua
Langston White Day. Crystal River Mayor Jim
Farley presented him with a key to the city. Barbara Mills with Operation Welcome Home
presented White with his gift basket. Wal-Mart of
Homosassa gave White and his family a gift card
for groceries. One after another various groups,
businesses, and community leaders took their turn
to thank White for his service. It wasn’t just because White was injured in the
line of duty; Operation Welcome Home organizes
welcome home parties for each and every service
member who returns from a tour on the war on
terrorism. There really is nothing that we as
civilians will ever be able to do to give a proper
thank you and welcome home to those who fight
for our freedom and safety, but Operation Welcome
Home does a fantastic job of helping every Army,
Navy, Air Force, Marine, and Coast Guard member
get a hero’s welcome back into the community. Like

Skeet’s Bar-B-Que Review
The Facts
Skeet’s Bar-B-Que
3887 N. Lecanto Hwy
Beverly Hills, FL 34465
352-527-7250
Open Tuesday through Saturday
8:00am – 8:00pm
Sunday 8:00am – 2:00pm
Prices Range from $6.99 - $16.99
For a first time guest walking in the door at Skeet’s
Bar-B-Que one would be impressed by the shiny
floors, polished booths, mirrored walls, and nice
décor. Long time locals are far more than impressed
because prior to Skeet’s moving into the building it
was a local dive bar for decades. The owners of
Skeet’s did a complete overhaul of the interior to
create such a warm and pleasant atmosphere.
Having been open for less than three years,
Skeet’s has become a welcome addition for diners
in the Beverly Hills area and beyond. Serving
breakfast, lunch, and dinner the menu focuses on
Southern & Bar-B-Que cuisine. Large portions
served by friendly wait staff are standard. Skeet’s takes typical menu items and kicks it
up a notch. Delicious slow cooked pulled pork is
available on a sandwich or a dinner plate, for a twist
try it in an eggroll, on top of Loaded Potato Skins,
or with some homemade slaw in a wrap. Jalapeno
is added to southern cheese grits for a new take on
an old favorite. Fried okra, mashed sweet potatoes,
and red skin potato salad are a few of the “sidekicks”
offered with sandwiches, wraps, and entrées.
In addition to standard bar-b-que items like pulled
pork, smoked beef brisket, chicken, and sliced turkey
Skeet’s also serves burgers, salads, appetizers, and
seafood. Their Signature Salad comes topped
with dried cranberries, pecans, walnuts, almonds,
tossed in a red wine vinaigrette. Skeet’s famous
wings come in close to a dozen flavors, try 10 or
20. Daily specials and homemade soups are also
offered, homemade gumbo is available every day. Lunch specials are served from 11:00am – 2:00pm
on weekdays, happy hour on beer & wine runs
3:00pm to 6:00pm. Don’t skip the banana pancakes offered at
breakfast. Three egg omelets are available stuffed
with several options of toppings. Traditional
Southern style biscuits and gravy remain popular
with breakfast diners. On Tuesday nights, Skeet’s offers free kid’s meals
with the purchase of an adult entrée. Throughout
the year, Skeet’s plays host to the Skeet’s Family
Club. These are special events for the entire family. Past events have included pancake breakfasts
and afternoon puppet shows. Follow Skeet’s on
Facebook for details on these special events. Skeet’s has a large community room connected
to the restaurant which is available for meetings,
private parties, and special occasions. Perhaps you
are having a special event in your home or office,
call Skeet’s for catering. No matter what brings you in to Skeet’s the
fantastic food and friendly service will bring you
back for a return trip. All Sports All The Time: MLB, NFL, NCAA Football & Basketball, Soccer, and NHL sports channels/packages on 17
large flat screens
20 beers on tap and wide selection of bottle beer, including Arrogant Bastard and Palm Belgium Ale
