Veterans Day Tribute

Americans live in freedom because of our veterans' courage, dedication to duty, and love of country.

Across America, there are more than 25 million veterans. Their ranks include generations of citizens who have risked their lives while serving in military conflicts, including World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, and the war on terror. They have fought for the security of our country and the peace of the world. Our veterans know that in the harshest hours of conflict they serve just and honorable purposes.

Through the years, our veterans have returned home from their duties to become active and responsible citizens in their communities, further contributing to the growth and development of our Nation. Their commitment to service inspires all Americans.

The Civic Club set some time at the November 7th Civic Club meeting to recognize the veterans living in our community with a small reception. Photos of this event by Debra Dishberger are below.
