🇺🇸 Honoring those who served 🇺🇸

SLD 45 members joined the Space Coast community in October to celebrate local veterans participating in Space Coast Honor Flight.

Through 90 flights, the program has provided 2,553 local veterans with the opportunity to visit Washington, D.C., and experience the memorials honoring their service and sacrifice.

We were proud to stand alongside our community in recognizing these American heroes and thanking them for their dedicated service to our nation.
