To the families who support our Red Lions: thank you for your time, patience, and encouragement. Your support makes our service possible.

As you take time to rest and enjoy those closest to you, remember this: what you do matters, and we are proud to serve alongside you.

We wish you and your families a warm and meaningful Thanksgiving!
