Last week members of Providence Grove High School FFA were honored to help support an incredible fishing tournament at Randleman Lake for our veterans. 🇺🇸🎣

Spending time outdoors, fishing, hunting, playing games, or simply being there for a veteran can make a bigger difference than many people realize. Every day, an estimated 22 veterans lose their lives to suicide. Sometimes the best way to help is simply getting them out of the house, listening, and reminding them they are not alone.

PGHS FFA students are thankful for the opportunity to serve those who have sacrificed so much for our country. Thank you to all veterans for your service, strength, and dedication. ❤️💙
