The Mayor’s Minute from Mayor Patrick Collins – Aug. 23, 2024
Last week, I was invited to attend an event hosted by the American Warrior Initiative. My friend Marlin told me they were giving a dog to well-deserving veteran and I was excited to attend. The event held at the Community House was so much more than I could have expected. The room was filled with realtors who were there to learn how they can support the effort to get veterans into homeownership. Jason Redman, a retired Navy Seal who was horribly wounded while serving in Iraq, was there to share his inspiring message and taught us we really don’t have bad days. The highlight was a beautiful dog given to Brett Steward that will be trained to support him as he lives with the consequences of his service to our country. It was a great day, and I appreciate everyone who made it happen.
