Around the Island

Remember Islanders serving their country here and abroad

During this holiday season of family, friends and freedom, we salute our military service members with Island connections who are currently serving in various branches of the Armed Forces, stationed both here and abroad. If we’ve missed someone who should be included here, please let us know.
