ORANGE COUNTY SOLDIER RETURNS TO THANK AYRES FAMILY FOR INSTILLING VALUES THAT SUSTAINED HIM THROUGH WAR

Luke Farnell, a former front desk employee at the Ayres Hotel --Anaheim, recently returned from an extended tour of duty in Iraq with a U.S. Army combat unit to personally thank the Ayres Family for instilling the company’s values in him that helped sustain him through his harrowing experience in the Middle East.

Luke shared those values – We care about people. We value teamwork. We deliver results – and the correspondence he regularly received from Ayres employees with his fellow soldiers in his unit. Luke joined the military after 9/11.
