Letter: Thank you to all military service men and women who’ve served

To the Editor:

The members of American Legion Auxiliary Post 66 in DeKalb would like to express our sincere appreciation for the men and women who served in the U.S. Armed Forces.

Thank you for serving this great country. Thank you for protecting us and providing the security we have here at home. We know you sacrificed much for your country and all of us. And though you may no longer wear the uniform, we know you’re always on call to serve and protect the freedom and security of the United States of America.

We invite everyone to pause on Nov. 11 to remember those who have fought for our freedoms and thank all who have so bravely protected us.
