Last night’s Salute to Service wrestling meet was a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who serve our country.

Throughout the evening, we honored and thanked those who are currently serving, as well as the many veterans who have served before them. We also took a special moment to recognize Coach Putnam’s family, as he is currently serving on a tour in Syria.

We extend our sincere thanks to Coach Putnam and his family for the sacrifices they continue to make in service to our country and our community.
