Why this matters in The Lubbock

The annual cover photo shoot for Senior Link Magazine's veterans issue is a unique opportunity for Lubbock's veterans to come together and be recognized for their service. As a city surrounded by the larger Lubbock metro area, this event showcases the strong sense of community that exists within the smaller incorporated city of Lubbock. The fact that veterans from different generations, including a 100-year-old World War II veteran, can gather and share their stories highlights the enduring bonds that exist among those who have served. The presentation of handmade quilts of valor by a local quilt group adds a personal touch to the event, demonstrating the appreciation that Lubbock residents have for their veterans. As the fall issue of Senior Link Magazine hits stands, it will serve as a reminder of the city's gratitude and respect for those who have protected American freedoms.
