In the November/December issue of Celebrate Gettysburg, writer Jen Esposito and photographer Casey Martin share the stories of military families from the Adams County area in "A Legacy of Service."This Veterans Day weekend we take time to honor those individuals in our communities that have made personal sacrifices in service to the United States. They may be members of your family, coworkers, neighbors, church members or your golfing partners.
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that in 2010, there were approximately 995,135 veterans living in Pennsylvania.
The men and women who answered the call to serve our country have made tremendous sacrifices. They've left behind loved ones—not knowing when, or if, they will return home. And those who come home are often faced with trying to assimilate back into the patterns of everyday living.
On this Veterans Day weekend, we should take time to not only thank those who have served but also remember those who gave their lives to protect our freedom.
