Today, we pause to reflect on the brave men and women who gave everything in service to our country. Their sacrifice is the foundation of the freedoms we enjoy in our beautiful towns of McCaysville and the Copper Basin.
As we gather with friends and family, let us carry gratitude in our hearts and honor their memory not just today, but every day.
