The Veterans’ Committee of Local 730 would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  Have a safe holiday.

This is also a time to reflect on the liberties our country enjoys because of the sacrifices of those who served past, present, and future.  Thank you for our freedom and God bless the USA.
