Greetings Terrapin Families!
On this Memorial Day, let us pause to remember the servicemen and women who have given their lives for our freedom. Let us be thankful for those who are away from their families and friends, dedicating their lives to serving our country. We are indebted to many and thankful for all!
All the best,
Lindsay Brenfleck
