Today, members of our team had the honor of attending South Haven's Salute to Veterans🇺🇸

Supporters lined the shoreline and cheered as veterans made their way by boat, while our volunteers were on hand sharing information about Talons Out Honor Flight and the work we do to honor our veterans.

We’re grateful to be part of this years event and look forward to returning next year! 🇺🇸❤️
