As our nation marks its 250th Anniversary, it is a privilege to recognize the Veterans and Active Military neighbors who have worked to protect the freedoms we enjoy today. Among these local heroes are Jon and Kathi Kissane, a couple whose life together serves as a testament to commitment, sacrifice, and enduring love.From Fort Sam Houston to 50 Years Together

The Kissanes’ journey began in 1974 at Fort Sam Houston. Jon served as a Medical Service Corps Officer, while Kathi served as an Army Nurse. Their shared dedication to the country laid the foundation for a partnership that spanned military assignments across the United States and Germany.

This July, as the nation celebrates a significant historical anniversary, the Kissanes will celebrate an incredible milestone of their own: 50 years of marriage. Their story is a powerful reminder of the personal sacrifices made by military families to serve the greater good.Reflecting on the Values of Service

The Kissanes encourage all of us to take a moment this summer to display our flags and reflect on the values that our Veterans have worked so hard to preserve. Their life of service is a beacon for our community, reminding us that the strength of a nation is built on the dedication of individuals committed to one another and their country.
