Director’s Message

During the month of November, Americans celebrate two national holidays – Thanksgiving Day and Veterans Day. While Thanksgiving is traditionally thought of as an opportunity to reflect upon the bounty that we enjoy, Veterans Day is also a day for giving thanks and recognition to those who have served our nation.

To all of our veterans, thank you for your service and the sacrifices you have made. For those still serving our nation, thank you for your continuing service. May God bless all of you and keep you safe wherever your duties take you.
To all of our readers, we wish you a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!
