This Veterans Day, we would like to honor the remarkable men and women who once served our nation and now form a proud group known as the Grand Patriots, who reside at the Grand Living at Riverstone. Together, more than 30 residents stand as living tributes to courage, resilience, and devotion to country.

Representing every branch of the U.S. Armed Forces — the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard — these veterans have served across the globe and through generations of change. Their years of service and accomplishments tell stories of leadership, sacrifice, and love of freedom.

This year holds special meaning as our nation commemorates the 250th anniversaries of the U.S. Army, Navy, and Marine Corps — three of America’s oldest and proudest institutions. Their founding ideals of honor, duty, and courage continue to live on through each of the Grand Patriots we celebrate today.

As we salute these heroes, we also reflect on the values that unite us: gratitude, community, and respect for those who have given so much. Their strength and stories remind us that freedom is never free — it is earned, protected, and passed down through the generations.

To our Grand Patriots, we thank you — for your service, your example, and the inspiration you bring to all who call Riverstone home.
