On Veterans Day we honor all, who answer to a service call. Soldiers young, and soldiers old, fought for freedom, brave and bold. Some have lived, while others died, and all of them deserve our pride. We’re proud of all of the soldiers who, kept thinking of the red, white and blue. They fought for us and all our rights, they fought through many days and nights. And though we may not know each name, we thank ALL veterans just the same.

On behalf of the DCSMEC family, to all the veterans, thank you for your service.
