Veteran’s Day is a day where we recognize with profound gratitude the sacrifice that our nation’s men and women in the U. S. Armed Forces have made. I would like to offer a sincere thank you to those members and their families who have selflessly answered the call to serve. We owe these brave men and women a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid. 
 
The dates for the December 2022 Union Meetings are listed below. We encourage you to attend the union meetings as this is the best way to get updated and first-hand information.
