It is a sacred patriotic duty, a debt of honor owed to those who have given us freedom, opportunity, and the countless gifts of happiness that we enjoy every day. Here at Golden Horizons, we remember all the military men and women who have left their families to protect the security of all American families; those who have donned the uniform of our nation and gone into harm’s way, on land, on the sea, and in the air. On Veterans Day, Golden Horizons salutes that courage of all those who served. We honor the sacrifice of those who never came home. To you who have served before, and currently, we support you and we remember. 518 7th Ave. NE, Aitkin • 218-927-9996 • www.goldenhorizons.org ASSISTED LIVING, MEMORY CARE, ADULT DAY SERVICE VETERANS ARE IMPORTANT MEMBERS OF OUR ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE A special thank you goes to the residents and staff at Aitkin Health Services who served in the Armed Forces.
