Each May, communities across the country come together to recognize Military Appreciation Month, a time to honor and thank the brave men and women who have served, and continue to serve, in the United States Armed Forces.

Here in Riverside County, the Board of Supervisors formally recognized Military Appreciation Month, highlighting the importance of acknowledging the sacrifices made by service members and their families. These individuals have dedicated themselves to protecting our nation’s freedoms, often at great personal cost.

At Beaumont-Cherry Valley Water District, we join in recognizing and expressing our appreciation for our military community. While our role as a public agency is focused on providing safe and reliable water service, we are proud to support efforts that connect veterans and military families with valuable resources available throughout the County.

One of those opportunities is Military Appreciation Sunday, taking place on May 31. This special event will include a resource fair and community celebration designed to honor veterans and military-connected families, while connecting them with local organizations, services, and support networks. Whether attending as a guest or supporter, the event reflects a shared commitment to showing up for those who have served in meaningful ways.

As an Army veteran, BCVWD Board President Lona Williams shared: “Military Appreciation Month is an opportunity to recognize the courage, sacrifice, and dedication of those who have served our country. We are grateful for their service and proud to help share information about local programs and events that support our veterans and their families.”

We encourage our community to take a moment this month to reflect, show appreciation, and learn more about the resources available to those who have served.
