Howell Celebrates Veterans’ Day with Heartfelt Community Support
In the small yet vibrant city of Howell, Veterans’ Day was celebrated with warmth and gratitude, as communities came together to honor those who have bravely served in the armed forces. Ceremonies were held in Howell and surrounding areas like South Lyon, creating a heartwarming atmosphere filled with appreciation and remembrance.
A Call to Action for the Holidays
This Veterans’ Day, the focus wasn’t just on honoring veterans but also on giving back to them. Veterans Connected Chairman Bryan Bradford joined the local morning radio hosts to share an urgent appeal for community support during the holiday season. His mission? To adopt local veterans and military families in need for Christmas.
“This year, I think we have nine families so far. But some of these families have been in just dire situations,” Bradford expressed during his interview, highlighting the pressing circumstances many military families face.
Details of the Adoption Program
Bradford and his team are not only focused on spreading holiday cheer through gifts; they’re also stepping in to make significant changes in these families’ lives. “We’re not only adopting them for that, but we’re fixing cars. We’re doing a home improvement project the weekend of the 20th,” he elaborated, underscoring the commitment to improving living conditions and provide essential services.
Gift Cards Needed for Families
Imagine the joy of receiving a gift card to buy the ingredients for a lovely holiday meal or to pick out presents for little ones! It’s not just about gifts, but also about making sure these families feel supported and cared for.

A Community Uniting for a Common Cause
This initiative is a beautiful example of how communities can rally together to create impactful change, especially during the holiday season. Whether it’s through donations, gift cards, or even volunteer work for home improvement, every little bit makes a difference.
As the holiday spirit kicks in, let’s remember that our veterans and military families have given so much for our freedom. Now is the perfect time to show our appreciation by lending a hand or contributing to this incredible cause. So, let’s come together, Howell! Let’s adopt a family and ensure that their Christmas is filled with love, joy, and gratitude.
