Oh, how easy it is to remember those who served and sacrificed for our country on the most patriotic day of the year! After the red, white, and blue t-shirts are washed and folded away, and when the parades and fireworks of July 4th are but memories, how do we continue to honor and support our Veterans who have impacted the success of our nation since its inception?
