Today, we pause to honor the brave men and women who have worn our nation’s uniform — those who stood for freedom, protected our way of life, and made sacrifices that can never be repaid.

At ORHC, our Missing Man Table stands as a powerful reminder of those who never made it home — the heroes whose presence is forever felt, even in their absence. Each item on the table tells their story, symbolizing love, sacrifice, and hope.

Beside it, Old Glory’s Companion Flag waves proudly, representing the unity of all who serve and the deep gratitude of a nation that will never forget.

To every veteran — past and present — we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️🤍💙
