Pacifica Honors Veterans Day

“On Veterans Day, we pause to acknowledge and honor the courage, sacrifice, dedication, and needs of those who have served in our Armed Forces. Veterans hold a unique perspective shaped by profound experiences and challenges, and their commitment to defending our freedoms has paved the way for countless opportunities. In our depth psychological community, we also recognize the immense effects of war on the individual and collective psyche and aim to positively support the needs of our veterans, particularly in mental health, as we work toward a peaceful society.”-Deneatrice A. Lewis, PGI Vice President of People, Culture, and Belonging
