"We come in contact daily with numerous U.S. military service personnel both active and retired, but we rarely stop to think about the sacrifice they have made to maintain our country's freedom," said Larry Knapp, president of the Fairfield Harbour board of directors. "Our program of remembrance and recognition on Nov. 11 provides us with the opportunity to take that moment to reflect on sacrifices made and show our appreciation and gratitude to the men and women who selflessly serve our country.
