On Veterans Day 30 friends, family, and neighbors paid tribute to veterans in the Villas. Coffee, donuts, pictures, and stories were shared among the group.

Additionally, a Quilt of Valor ceremony took place, honoring three brave veterans in the community. Everyone witnessed the emotional moment as each veteran was presented with their handmade Quilt of Valor. These quilts are a symbol of gratitude and recognition for those who have served and been touched by war. The quilts carry a simple but profound message: “Thank you for your service and sacrifice in serving our nation.”

It was a day of remembrance, reflection, and deep appreciation for the courage and dedication for all who have given so much in defense of our freedom.
