It was a chilly morning out at the barn today, but we had a hearty skeleton crew of our V.E.TS. members braving the cold doing barn chores! 🥶

In the afternoon, our V.E.T.S. family celebrated the upcoming Christmas holiday together at the Mystic Rod & Gun Club with our Annual Christmas Potluck & Yankee Swap. As usual, the party proved to be a fun-filled time of laughter, good food, & quality time with our friends & family. 🎄

And a huge thank you to Sally Ann Spencer-Timmons for the beautiful Christmas tree & generous donation of Christmas gifts to all of our participating V.E.T.S. members. Her support & generosity means so much to all of us at V.E.T.S. all throughout the year, & especially at Christmas time. Thank you Sally!

Today, we mark the 84th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, a day that will forever be etched in our nation's history.

On December 7, 1941, the USS Arizona was struck by a catastrophic attack, claiming the lives of 1,177 brave sailors and Marines. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

As we remember their courage and selflessness, we're reminded that freedom is a precious gift, paid for with the ultimate price.

At Veterans Equine Therapeutic Services, we honor the heroes of the USS Arizona, and all veterans, for their service and sacrifice. We remember, we reflect, and we carry their legacy forward.

Let None Be Forgotten 🇺🇸
