No Veteran Left Behind – Veterans Day 2024
Mark Pinilla, Founder of Vet Info, spoke at Miami Dade College’s West Campus on Monday, November 4th, in honor of Veterans Day.
This day holds deep significance as a time to remember, reflect, and show respect for the countless men and women who have served and sacrificed for our nation. Veterans Day offers us a moment to recognize the bravery, commitment, and resilience of those who have dedicated themselves to protecting our freedoms and ensuring our country’s security. As a nation, it is essential that we express our gratitude—not only by saluting our veterans but by acknowledging the sacrifices they and their families have made. We extend heartfelt thanks to those who have paid tribute to their invaluable contributions.
