To the editor:

To our veterans, family members, survivors and the entire Brown County community thank you for your support of our veteran community.

It goes above and beyond community support, it’s a family thing, and even though we all have an odd cousin out there, we came together to celebrate July 4th.

On behalf of the Brown County Veterans Service Office, we hope that you experienced a happy 4th of July and may you continue to stay safe during this season.

With great joy and pride serving our Brown County Veterans and their families,

Chris Snell, Brown County Veteran Service Officer
