🇺🇸 Honoring a Life of Service 🇺🇸

Today, our team was deeply honored to help celebrate the life of a proud U.S. Navy Veteran. With Naval military honors, we paid tribute to their dedication, sacrifice, and unwavering service to our nation.

The presentation of the flag and the sound of “Taps” served as a powerful reminder of the courage and commitment shown by all who serve. It was our privilege to stand beside this family and ensure their loved one received the honor they so rightly deserved.

We are forever grateful for the men and women of our Armed Forces—past and present—who protect the freedoms we cherish.

⚓️ Fair winds and following seas. ⚓️

Yesterday we had the privilege of serving the family of Deputy Jerry Soares. Deputy Soares was more than a dedicated officer — he was a mentor, a friend, and a steady presence for the students and staff at Gallatin High School, where he proudly served as School Resource Officer.

The impact he made in the lives of young people and in our community will not be forgotten. It was truly an honor to walk alongside his family and friends as we celebrated his life and the legacy he leaves behind.

Deputy Soares’ kindness, service, and devotion to others will continue to inspire all of us.
