Mayor Musselwhite and the Board of Alderman hosted the annual City of Southaven Veterans Day luncheon, according to a post by the City of Southaven. The event honored men and women who have served in the U.S. military.
The keynote speaker was Col. (Ret.) John P. Sullivan Jr. of the U.S. Marine Corps. Sullivan spoke about his life experiences during 30 years of military service and the sacrifices his family made during his deployments, the city said.
His message emphasized commitment to defending freedom, lifelong service to others, and the importance of courage and integrity. Sullivan also recognized the value veterans bring to their communities after military service and called on the next generation to preserve the freedoms it has inherited.
The city thanked Landers Auto Group and Civil-Link, LLC, for sponsoring the luncheon.
