Today was a day filled with pride, gratitude, and deep respect as our community came together to honor one of our own—Steven Bennett, a true local hero.
The ceremony was a beautiful tribute to his legacy, reminding us all of the strength and sacrifice that define real heroism. From the heartfelt speeches to the shared stories, every moment reflected the impact Steven has had on our lives and our community.
We are forever grateful for his service and the example he sets for us all. Thank you to everyone who joined us in making this day so special. It was more than just a ceremony—it was a celebration of honor, unity, and the enduring spirit of those who serve.
Steven Bennett, we salute you.
