It's so wonderful to help out repeat clients with their mortgage needs. We were able to provide this Veteran client with $80,000 in cash for home renovations, paying off bills and still saving money on their mortgage payment!

"The whole team was wonderful from beginning to end. If there was something we didn't understand they were right there to help. So pleasant with their communication and promptness with responses. We thank them for making the process so easy."

📚 Veterans Day isn’t just a date on the calendar—it’s a teaching moment.

Fredericksburg schools can help students truly understand sacrifice, service, and pride. How? By bringing in veterans to speak. By organizing school-wide tributes. By launching art and writing projects that let kids say “thank you” in their own words. And by turning gratitude into action—through note-writing, donation drives, and memorial cleanups.

These moments don’t just honor heroes—they shape young hearts.

Fredericksburg, let’s make 2025 unforgettable. Get inspired with real ideas for your school: https://gofredericksburg.com/veterans-day-engaging-students-in-fredericksburg-schools/
