We marked Veterans Day 2017 by attending the Veterans Day Celebration hosted by Greater Cypress Park Neighborhood Council at the Veteran's Memorial Park, Los Angeles.

Returning Soldiers Speak veterans Heather Ravencroft, Adam Cloys, and Wes Cloys read at the event and then each received Certificates of Recognition from the U.S. Congress. Congratulations to all!

Adam Cloys and Wes Cloys both contributed to the new anthology The Storytellers: Veterans and Family Members Write About Military Life.
