This September will mark the 25th Anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and September 11th represents Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance. September is a month for Liberty team members to take a moment and reflect with gratitude of the service and sacrifice of our military service members and their families from the past 25 years. Thank you for your service, thank you for your commitment to our country, and thank you for living with Liberty! Liberty Military Housing team members have been honored to serve our military families and communities over the last 25 years through two wars and many deployments. The Community Services Departments has been dedicated to providing events and programs that bring families together to build connections and community. The Liberty team is committed to continuing with this support and encourage all families to participate in upcoming events. Again, we thank you, we appreciate you, and we will never forget your continued service and sacrifice for all of us! Beth Peterson, Regional Vice Presidents Angie Cardoso, Director of Operations Sean Ryan, Regional Maintenance Director James Bloom, Director of Military Affairs
