The North Shore has many past and current veterans who have deeply impacted their respective communities. To show appreciation for their heroic efforts, the 4th Annual Tribute and Honor Awards and Fundraising Gala brought together a sold-out crowd to celebrate and recognize the extraordinary contributions of veterans and their supporters. The event featured heartfelt speeches, moving tributes, and the presentation of prestigious awards to individuals dedicated to serving the veteran community. Honorees included decorated war heroes, dedicated volunteers, and advocates for PTSD awareness, all of whom have made a profound impact through their service and leadership.
