Hello ACS,
Today we celebrated Red Shirt Friday in honor of all our
service men and women. I want to say thank you to all of our ACS service men
and women! I know we have families where husbands, wives, sons, or daughters
are serving overseas. We say a special “Thank you and God Bless” for the
sacrifice of protecting our nation. I know there are other families who have
served or perhaps have grandparents, aunts, or uncles who serve. We extend our
“Thank you and God Bless” to you too. All of us at ACS appreciate your service
and our prayers are with you!!
