Honoring Our Local Military Members

Patch thanks all of those who have fought for our freedom and recognizes those who continue to fight today.

As we remember our fallen soldiers this Memorial Day, we also want to take the time to recognize the great sacrifices our veterans, active military members and military families have made for our country. Thank you to all those who have fought and continue to fight for our freedom.
