WE REMEMBER

“America's veterans have served their country with the belief that democracy and freedom are ideals to be upheld around the world. “ — John Doolittle

BUDDY POPPIES

In Flanders Fields, the poppies blow, Between the crosses row on row, That mark our place and in the sky, The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago, We lived, felt the dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved and now we lie, In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you, from failing hands, we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow, In Flanders fields. In Flanders Fields by John McCrae

VETERAN OUTREACH

Coming home doesn't mean the battle is over. With over 10 times the amount of veterans lost to suicide than to combat operations in the same time period, there has never been a more important time to TAKE A STAND and DO something to support our veterans!! If you or someone you know is suffering from PTSD, we have people that have shared a similar experience and are ready to help.
