Our freedoms were protected and paid for by others. Let us not forget that what we do with those freedoms depends greatly on how we want to enrich our own lives and those around us. To the men and women before us and those continuing to honor the commitment to this great Nation, THANK YOU for the past 250 years! 🇺🇸

Juneteenth (a blend of "June" and "Nineteenth") is an annual holiday commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States. It marks the day in 1865 when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce that the Civil War had ended and all enslaved people were free.

On this Day, we pay great honor to those that paved the way for future generations and those that continue to serve others. 🇺🇸

Almost 56 years to the day, a Vietnam veteran in Monroe County is awarded a Purple Heart and other medals of service after being wounded in combat.

06/01/2026

Today was an exciting day to present a Vietnam Veteran his long awaited Purple Heart and other medals. Robert Barnes was wounded in action but his military records did not reflect that. Through strong diligence, our Deputy Director, Eric Morin, uncovered that Mr. Barnes was issued the certificate but it was not listed on his discharge papers, nor recognized by the VA for decades because of it. Working with Charles at Congressman Bresnahan’s office, they were able to request and ultimately received those medals. It is not only about the sacrifice, it is about the validation and powerful impact that comes with serving and making sure Veterans receive all the benefits they have so rightly earned. We thank Mr. Barnes and his family for his service to our Country, and are proud to have been able to do this for him. 🇺🇸
