We would like to Honor your Patriot on our HERO WALL.
There is a special place in the hallway in the front office named PATRIOTIC PLACE dedicated to our Veterans and the Men & Women who currently serve in the Military.
You can Honor your family member or friend by filling out an Honor Sheet.
This will allow you to add a 4x6 picture of your Patriot and fill in some cool information so others can learn about your Patriot.
