Take time this Veterans Day to remember the approximately 23.2 million past and present United States military members and all of the sacrifices that have been made by them and their families for us to live in this great country and share in the freedoms for which we’re privileged enough to have and for which Veterans make these ultimate sacrifices.

The undying love and respect our military members have for our country should make us all proud! The brave men and women who serve and protect the U.S. come from all walks of life; they are parents, children and grandparents. They are friends, neighbors, customers and an important part of our communities. Thank you to all who have served!
