Enchantment is the second largest publication in New Mexico. We believe New Mexico is a great place to live.

Over one quarter of the state's residents receive our monthly publication, which they get as a benefit of their membership in one of New Mexico's rural electric cooperatives. We want to share our enthusiasm with the members of New Mexico's rural electric cooperatives.

Happy Veterans Day.

Today, and every day, we honor the men and women who have served in our Armed Forces. Your courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to protecting our freedoms represent the very best of our nation.

At the New Mexico Rural Electric Cooperative Association (publisher of enchantment), we are deeply grateful for our Veterans — including those who serve within our co-ops and the communities we support across New Mexico. Your service continues to inspire us and reminds us of the values of duty, resilience, and dedication to others.

Thank you for your service and for the example you set for us all.

With respect and gratitude,
