Throughout this season, our hearts are with the families of the heroic men and women who have laid down their lives for our freedom.
Last week, our office attended a Gold Star Family tree decorating event with ornaments to honor those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Happy #WinterSolstice2021 marking the onset of winter and the shortest day of the year. During the winter solstice, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted at its farthest distance from the sun, bringing less light and colder temperatures.
