Last month a representative from the U.S. Army approached the City Council to introduce the Community Covenant Program. The intent of the program is to encourage all cities and towns across the country to formally commit to supporting service members and their families during deployment.
As a city we are currently developing a plan to help the families of Cedar Hills service members who are deployed to a hostile fire area. This plan will allow us to help alleviate some of the burden these families face when a deployment occurs. Additionally, we have already had many generous business owners in our city offer up a variety of resources from discounted to free services for our Cedar Hills service members and their families. We are grateful to those in our community who are joining us in finding ways to express our appreciation for the sacrifice these service members make.
We will be having an official signing ceremony on March 20th at 6:00pm during a Council work session. This signing ceremony will consist of the Mayor, the City Council, and those business leaders who are joining us in our efforts. A representative from the United States Army will be there and we encourage any and all interested residents to join us as well.
