gold-blue-stars

If you have seen a blue star in the window of a neighbor’s home it means they have a loved one deployed overseas in the military. And, if you have seen a Gold Star that means that their loved one provided the ultimate measure of devotion to their country. Respectfully, please honor the sacrifice of the families left behind and see how you can provide any assistance.

Local Veteran and ECA Board Member, Jac Charlier, has stepped forward to be a neighborhood contact for Veterans and their families.
