Honoring Our Veterans Today and Always As we close out Veterans Day, let us take a moment to truly recognize the sacrifices made by those who have served our country. Today isn’t just about remembrance; it’s about honoring the courage, resilience, and dedication that Veterans carry with them long after their service ends. Each Veteran has a story of service and sacrifice that deserves our respect and gratitude. Today, let’s not only thank them but commit to supporting and uplifting them in meaningful ways year-round. To all Veterans: thank you for your service. We are forever grateful. #VeteransDay #VeteranEducation #HonorAndSupport #ThankYouVeterans #CommunityAndEmpowerment #CCME

Happy 249th Birthday to the United States Marine Corps! Today, we honor the legacy and commitment of the Marines who have served and continue to serve with unparalleled dedication. Since November 10, 1775, when the Corps was born at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia, Marines have stood as the 'First to Fight' for our nation's freedom and values. At CCME, we recognize and celebrate the contributions of our Marine Corps community—students, service members, and veterans—who exemplify resilience and leadership in and out of the classroom. Your courage and spirit inspire us every day. Thank you for 249 years of faithful service. Semper Fi! #MarineCorpsBirthday #USMC #CCMECommunity #SemperFi #HonorCourageCommitment
