HONORING THOSE WHO SERVED!

On behalf of our Cavalier family, I would like to say thank you to all of those who have served in our Armed Forces. Thousands of Americans have served in our military and many have paid the ultimate price to secure the freedoms we enjoy today. This Veterans Day, join me in honoring those true heroes that have served our great country.
