Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family. Tomorrow is Veterans Day, which is a very special day for our community. It is a day of remembrance, gratitude, and also provides the additional fire that we use to keep fighting for our cause to end homelessness among our nation’s veterans and their dependents.
This day honors the signing of the Armistice in 1918, which officially ended the first World War. Many of those who made it back home were scarred by horrors of the “great war” and so many, including members of some of our own families, carried unspeakable pain with them for their entire lives. They were silent. They remained stoic. They had done their duty for their country.
Today we would like to offer a moment of silence for those brave American service members who paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we can have a future free of tyranny. We would also like to thank all of the brave men and women who are currently serving, and those who have served, our great nation. You have our heartfelt gratitude and our deepest respect.
