Dear Neighbors,
Today, we observe Veterans Day and pay tribute to the unbroken line of brave citizen soldiers going back to the Revolutionary War who stepped forward and served our great nation in times of peace and armed conflict.
We honor the brave men and women who fought to preserve freedom for each successive generation.
While traditional gatherings should be avoided because of COVID, we can still commemorate the day by reaching out to Veterans by phone, text, or email and thanking them for their service. I hope you will join me in honoring their service to our great nation, by attending the virtual ceremony below or sharing the list of discounts provided to veterans.
