Veterans Day provides Americans with the opportunity to say “thank you” to men and women who have served our nation in the armed forces.
At Riderwood, the Erickson Living retirement community, a new event will reach out to the surrounding area to express our mutual and heartfelt appreciation.
On Friday, November 8th, Riderwood will host its first Veteran Day Expo to commemorate the sacrifices of veterans and provide information to them and their families.
