November is a special month – it is a month where we honor . . . reflect . . . and give thanks. Recently, on Veterans Day, we recognized our Lincoln South Rotary members who are veterans, thanking them for serving and protecting our country. In November, we celebrate Thanksgiving and we reflect and are thankful for our blessings. Before we leave this month of November, there is one more group of people that deserve our recognition and thanks.
