BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
Dozens of Leon County employees and volunteers gathered to serve a veteran in their neighborhood today.
It's one way the county honors the heroes and victims who lost their lives during the 9/11 attacks.
Today, the team reached out to Louverne Thomas, a Florida Army National Guard veteran and helped beautify her home.
"They did my yard, they did my house, pressure washed my house— Well, they started pressure washing my house because of the weather they weren't able to finish everything but they did the yard and the landscape. It's beautiful!" said Thomas.
The County has held a 9/11 Day of Remembrance since 2011.
