**Military Appreciation Month – Honoring Those Who Served**

At the Bethany Housing Authority, we are proud to recognize May as Military Appreciation Month. This is a time to honor and thank the brave men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces, as well as the families who have supported them along the way.

We are especially grateful for the veterans and active-duty service members within our own community. Your dedication, sacrifice, and commitment to protecting our country are deeply appreciated, and we are honored to have you as part of our Bethany Housing family.
