At The Chesapeake, we are proud to be home to so many who have served our country. On Veterans Day, we recognize that the freedoms we enjoy, and the services we provide, are made possible by the sacrifices of the Americans who have served, fought for, and protected our nation.
Today, we honor the brave individuals who have given so much in service to our country. To our residents who served and to all who continue to defend our liberty, we extend our deepest gratitude.
