November 11th is Veterans Day. Please join me in honoring all those who have served our nation and sacrificed their lives so that our families and our way of life may be protected. For events and ceremonies around the 25th District you can attend, please check out the ‘Around the Corner’ section of this newsletter. If you can’t make it to a service, please thank a veteran when you see one around town. And to those of you who are service members, past or present: thank you and God bless.
