As the nation celebrates Veterans Day, we would like to recognize the achievements and courage of the individuals who answered the call to military service.

Today, we ask all of you to join us in recognizing the original designation of November 11th as our thoughts are with the victims in Thousand Oaks, their loved ones, and first responders.
