On this solemn occasion of Patriot Day, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001 - the innocent, the brave, and the selfless.

\n
Columbus Day serves as a reminder of humanity\u2019s enduring spirit of discovery, a drive to explore the unknown, chart new courses, and expand the boundaries of what is possible. More than 500 years ago, explorers like Christopher Columbus embarked on perilous voyages across uncharted waters, fueled by courage, vision, and determination. Those same qualities continue to define the men and women who wear our nation\u2019s uniform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Throughout history, our service members have carried that same spirit of discovery and resilience into every corner of the world, defending liberty, advancing peace, and representing the very best of the American ideal. Just as explorers once set sail toward distant horizons, today\u2019s military heroes stand watch on land, sea, air, and cyberspace, ever ready to protect the freedoms we hold dear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether you are deployed, retired, or holding down the home front, we honor your service and the values you uphold. May this day bring moments of peace, pride, and reflection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are never forgotten. You are always appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From all of us at the VFW Department of Georgia, we wish you a safe and meaningful Columbus Day, a day to celebrate discovery, honor service, and cherish the freedom both have secured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That same spirit is echoed in our inner character: that from darkness, light emerges; from chaos, order is restored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To our veterans: your sacrifice is etched not only in history but in the hearts of those who walk freely because of your courage. You are the living embodiment of fortitude, and your example continues to inspire generations. May we honor this day not only with remembrance but with action.

Columbus Day serves as a reminder of humanity\u2019s enduring spirit of discovery, a drive to explore the unknown, chart new courses, and expand the boundaries of what is possible. More than 500 years ago, explorers like Christopher Columbus embarked on perilous voyages across uncharted waters, fueled by courage, vision, and determination. Those same qualities continue to define the men and women who wear our nation\u2019s uniform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Throughout history, our service members have carried that same spirit of discovery and resilience into every corner of the world, defending liberty, advancing peace, and representing the very best of the American ideal. Just as explorers once set sail toward distant horizons, today\u2019s military heroes stand watch on land, sea, air, and cyberspace, ever ready to protect the freedoms we hold dear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether you are deployed, retired, or holding down the home front, we honor your service and the values you uphold. May this day bring moments of peace, pride, and reflection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Columbus Day serves as a reminder of humanity\u2019s enduring spirit of discovery, a drive to explore the unknown, chart new courses, and expand the boundaries of what is possible. More than 500 years ago, explorers like Christopher Columbus embarked on perilous voyages across uncharted waters, fueled by courage, vision, and determination. Those same qualities continue to define the men and women who wear our nation\u2019s uniform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Throughout history, our service members have carried that same spirit of discovery and resilience into every corner of the world, defending liberty, advancing peace, and representing the very best of the American ideal. Just as explorers once set sail toward distant horizons, today\u2019s military heroes stand watch on land, sea, air, and cyberspace, ever ready to protect the freedoms we hold dear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether you are deployed, retired, or holding down the home front, we honor your service and the values you uphold. May this day bring moments of peace, pride, and reflection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are never forgotten. You are always appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From all of us at the VFW Department of Georgia, we wish you a safe and meaningful Columbus Day, a day to celebrate discovery, honor service, and cherish the freedom both have secured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
