The mother of a South Lake Tahoe soldier was honored Tuesday at the Reno-Tahoe Open "Patriots Luncheon" at Montreux Golf and Country Club in southwest Reno. The audience also heard from an Air Force pilot who spent years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.
The beautifully drawn portrait was the first time Gold Star mom Patricia Smith has seen her son whole and smiling since he was killed in action in Iraq in 2008.
