Happy Veteran's Day

Today, on Veteran's Day, we pause to honor the men and women of the United States Armed Forces-those who have served, those currently serving, and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect the freedoms we hold dear. As we reflect on their bravery and dedication, we are reminded of the profound impact these heroes have on our nation, our community, and our lives.

At the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, we are privileged to have among our ranks individuals who have proudly worn the uniform of our Armed Forces. Their commitment to service did not end when they left the military; it continues each day as they serve our community with the same honor, integrity, and selflessness. These veterans bring unparalleled leadership, resilience, and a unique sense of duty to our team, setting a powerful example for all of us.

To each veteran, both within the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office and across our county, thank you. Your sacrifices, dedication, and courage are a source of inspiration to us all. We are deeply grateful for your service and the unwavering commitment you've shown to both our country and our community.

May we never forget the price of freedom and the extraordinary individuals who protect it. Today and always, we salute you.

Happy Veteran's Day.

With respect and gratitude,

Lafayette Woods, Jr.
Sheriff
