Scenes from a powerful day of remembrance: Our community came together with pride and purpose to honor those who gave their lives in service to our nation.

This year, we paid special tribute to WWII veteran and Past Commander Bill L. Chin. His courage, leadership, and lifelong dedication to service continue to inspire us all.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in this solemn tribute.
