25 years later, we still remember where we were, who we lost, and the heroes who ran toward danger. Today, we honor the lives forever changed by September 11, 2001, and the courage, compassion, and sacrifice that followed.
Forever honored. Never forgotten. ❤️
25 years ago, our nation stood still as the World Trade Center towers fell and nearly 3,000 lives were lost. In one of our darkest moments, Americans came together to rescue, recover, and rebuild. Today, we remember the lives lost and honor those who put others first.
Don't forget to join us Thursday Sept 10th for our forum "When the Mission Follows You Home" at the Central Peninsula Church in Foster City. Check out the Eventbrite for more info: eventbrite.com/e/when-the-mi…

Private First Class Helmut Fred Behlert was an extraordinary American soldier who put country above self. He was killed in action in 1944 in Saipan. More than 80 years later, his remains were flown to SFO last night. smcgov.org/ceo/news/after-81…
We are deeply saddened to learn that San Mateo County resident, World War II veteran, and 2023 Veteran of the Year Al Adreveno has passed away.
Al dedicated his life serving both his country and the Half Moon Bay community he called home. His legacy will live on.

If you earned GI Bill benefits, don’t leave them on the table.
VA is helping Veterans get more out of their education benefits -- starting with understanding what you’ve earned.
The GI Bill can cover tuition, housing, books, and training programs. It can support degrees, certifications, and new career paths.
VA offers tools to help you compare schools, understand your coverage, and make informed decisions before you enroll.
Whether you’re heading to college, learning a trade, or building your next chapter, visit VA.gov and search “GI Bill.”
