Just a note on this Veteran's day to say that I have been so humbled and honored to work with you over the last several years. It has been so amazing to hear about your growth as farmers and to play a very small role as you transition from serving in the military
to serving your community through growing food and helping your fellow veterans through farming and gardening. </div>
