Our Thanks To Those Who’ve Served Our Nation – Happy Veterans Day!

Local veteran Thomas Bowers, during Sheepshead Bay’s 2013 Memorial Day Parade.

On this Veterans Day, our deepest gratitude goes out to those who’ve served our nation at home and abroad. We hope you have a terrific day!

Service, of course, has many meanings. Though Veterans Day intends to honor those who’ve donned the uniform, the rest of us can help our neighbors and live up to our nation’s highest ideals by dedicating some time this month (or, better yet, over many months) to giving back in our community through volunteering.

Here’s a list of volunteer and community service opportunities around Brooklyn. Check it out and sign up today to truly honor the service members past and present who’ve put their life on the line for our freedoms.
