“No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks.” — James Allen

This week marks National Armed Forces Week and we are taking the time to honor and give gratitude to all those who have served or who are currently enlisted in our armed forces.

In alignment with small business month and in light of the times, we will be extending written gratitude features of some of the veterans who are business owners & entrepreneurs in our network. We will also be highlighting a few of organizations and MyBankers in our footprint that are providing services for veterans/active duty men, women, and their families.
