Today is 2024 Veteran’s Day, a national holiday celebrating the men and women who have or are serving in the military. Don’t confuse Veteran’s Day with Memorial Day which honors American service members who died in the service of their country. We want to celebrate the about 150,000 Veterans in New Mexico, and their families. We bless them all today.
