I think most would agree that Veterans do not get the recognition, aid, and support that they are due—after all, the sacrifices they make are quite unrepayable! Lake Norman Woman Magazine would like all of our military to know that our respect and gratitude run deep. In honor of Veterans Day 2022, here are a few events in our area… God Bless You All and God Bless the United States of America!
