Dear Friends,

Let us take time to honor all veterans and current service men and women for their dedication to our country, and let us not take for granted the freedoms and fortunes they have provided for us. We are fortunate to have thousands of veterans in our very own communities, and I hope that we can all take a moment to personally thank them for their service on this Veterans Day. For more information on ways to celebrate Veterans Day, visit the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs website.

Sincerely,

Lou Correa
State Senator, 34th District
