The Community is invited to come support and honor our military veterans and those who have given the ultimate sacrifice while serving this Memorial Holiday Season. There will be dynamic motivational speakers, community leaders, and resource vendors at the federal, state, and local community agencies that will empower veterans by providing the support they need and deserve. This is a great opportunity for networking and discovering new opportunities along with honoring veterans for their contributions and sacrifices to our country.
