A message from our Chapter President, Dan Mitchell - retired Garrison Commander from the Rock Island Arsenal - on what Veterans Day means to him.

“What I learned is that being a veteran transcends us from all our differences. We discover that at our core, we’re simply people - Americans.”

Thank you to the City of Bettendorf, Iowa for hosting today’s Veterans Day ceremony, and for recognizing our community’s veterans and their families.

It was a truly beautiful day to honor the brave soldiers who defend our nation 🇺🇸
