Dear Neighbor,
I am extremely proud to have served in the United States Marine Corps. and look forward to celebrating Veterans Day with fellow service people on Veterans Day this Friday. Schedule permitting, I hope to attend ceremonies at a district school.
We have more service people returning home from duty all the time and I want to pass along some information regarding programs and services available to veterans. Please forward this to anyone you think would be interested.
