Remembering our veterans with gratitude

By
Melissa Jackson
Wednesday, November 8, 2017 — Issue 433

We at the Vermont Veterans' Home desire to express our gratitude to every U.S. military veteran, past and present, for their unwavering service to our country.

Let us all remember that, if not for their assurance of liberty, we would not have the rights and freedoms their sacrifice bestows on us all.

We live in the greatest nation on earth because of their commitment to duty, honor, and country.

Please join with me and thank our veterans and their families for their service on this Veterans' Day.

By

Wednesday, January 15, 2020 — Issue 544

For those reading the headlines from various media outlets in Vermont, one cannot help but be troubled by headlines concerning the Brattleboro Retreat and woes of news coming from Montpelier of the denial of funding support critical to the health and future existence of this standalone organization.
