Veterans. They are the ones who gave up their freedom to protect yours. We owe more to our Veterans than we could ever repay. Our Veterans and our active duty military men and women have been treated shamefully by this administration. This Administration plans to cut 30,000 personnel from the Veterans Administration, which means longer waits and fewer services for our Veterans. And Veterans made up a large number of the tens of thousands of the other Federal Workers who have been fired by DOGE. Please join Indivisible Champlain Islands in letting our Veterans know that we honor them, we thank them, and they deserve better than what they are getting from this Administration at a Veterans Day Rally at the Keeler Bay intersection of Rts. 2 and 314 (Ferry Road), in front of the old real estate office, in South Hero. (Near McKees). Bring flags or signs in support of our Veterans. We will also have some flags and signs you can use. And if you know a Veteran, reach out and thank them. Ask them to lunch. Buy them a cup of coffee. Share an hour of conversation. We owe them so much.
