Ken Heisner inspects “Lady Luck’s” trailer hitch<br />

It was Heisner’s idea to unite all service organizations in<br />

Citrus County to serve needy veterans. He and the veterans have<br />

been dedicated to the philosophy of “<strong>Veterans</strong> Helping <strong>Veterans</strong>”<br />

ever since.<br />

CID 192 Commander Herman (“Hank”) Butler notes that<br />

Heisner has served the Chapter since its inception as Treasurer,<br />

Secretary, and 1st Vice Commander. He is now a Director<br />

Emeritus. Butler commented that, “Ken was 102’s Commander<br />

when we conducted the first organizational meeting for the coalition.<br />

It is an honor for me to have served with him, and he will<br />

always be a lifetime member of CID 192.”<br />

Speaking of Butler, he worked with Heisner to build the<br />

Chapter’s vehicle, “Lady Luck.” A retired Command SgtMaj<br />

from the Florida National Guard donated the frame. The seats are<br />

red velvet church pews made available after a church upgrade.<br />

Heisner did all the painting, while Neville Anderson provided<br />

the flags and decorations.<br />
