March Members connect with local community during Veterans Day ceremonies

Lt. CDR. Eric Cottrell , commanding officer, Navy Operational Support Center, Moreno Valley, Calif., was the featured speaker at the City of Moreno Valley’s Veterans Day Ceremony, held at the Moreno Valley Civic Center, Nov. 11. Cottrell delivered a speech that evoked mindful thought about the true meaning behind Veterans Day by stating, “America has set aside this day to recognize, honor and thank our nation’s veterans for their sacrifices in defending and preserving our freedoms. It isn’t about a day off, or a great sale at the mall. It is a solemn day; a day for reflection, for memories and for prayers-prayers for those lost and for those in harm’s way even today.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Lt. Col. Don Traud)
