Honor Our Veterans
Veterans Day celebrations around town
Heroes come in many forms – firefighters, police officers, nurses, teachers, parents – and the list could go on.
On Veteran’s Day, we honor the heroic men and women who have served their country in a branch of the military. Several events around the Richmond area on Nov. 11 welcome all to celebrate those individuals.
