As Veterans Day unfolds, the Eden Prairie Police Department (EPPD) is taking a moment to recognize and celebrate the dedication of its service members, both past and present. A heartfelt tribute goes out to the veterans within their ranks, totaling 11 police department members who've served our nation with pride.
In an official statement from the EPPD released yesterday, the department takes the opportunity to not only honor their current service men and women but also to remind the local community of the ongoing commitment veterans carry with them. "This Veterans Day, the EPPD would like to thank all of the men and women who have served, and are currently serving, our country," cited the department in a nod to the sacrifices made by military personnel.
During this federal holiday, Eden Prairie residents should take note that city offices will be closed in observance of Veterans Day. It's a pause in the municipal hustle, one taken to pay respect to the individuals who have donned the uniform of the United States Armed Forces, standing as a silent acknowledgment of the contributions and courage displayed by these citizens.
To stay updated on this and other police department initiatives, the EPPD encourages locals to visit their news site. At edenprairiemn.gov/EPPDNews, updates, including community outreach events and public safety information, are regularly posted. Being informed is just another way for residents to remain actively engaged in their community's heartbeats, to truly comprehend the daily peace kept by both police officers and veterans alike.
