As a part of Salute to Service month, we invited Gold Star Families to come to the facility to honor their loved ones lost in service. They received a tour and then built wooden flags with Flags of Valor in their loved one's memory. And the end of they day they were surprised with framed jerseys with their fallen hero's last name. Their stories and love have impacted our lives more than we could ever imagine impacting theirs. Thank you for being so vulnerable and keeping their memory alive.
