A Hero’s Birthday
Beau Rivage’s Veterans Employee Network Group hosted a special 99th birthday party for World War II Army veteran Edgar “Red” McKay. The group arranged a birthday luncheon at the resort for McKay and his family, presenting him with a cake and gift bag. McKay, who lives in Gulfport, was a member of the company charged with going behind enemy lines to liberate a POW camp. Upon liberating the camp, he was wounded and became a POW himself. After his release, McKay was awarded a Purple Heart.
