Last week we had a day filled with pride, gratitude, and community spirit as we gathered to dedicate and unveil our new Veterans' Tribute Bus! We are beyond elated to have had so many of you join us in honoring the brave men and women who have served our country. Your presence made this celebration even more special. A huge thank you to the representatives of Senator Mayes Middleton, Congressman Randy Weber, State Representative Dr. Greg Bonnen, and State Representative Terri Leo Wilson for taking the time to be part of this meaningful event. Your support means the world to us. We also want to extend our deepest gratitude to our incredible 8 business sponsors who made this tribute possible.
