In recognition of Veterans Day last weekend, Guardian Revival hosted hikes with Another Summit on the Popolopen Torne Loop (with the living monument at its peak), a breakfast for veterans with Congressman Pat Ryan, and a public Veterans Day Ceremony at the Beacon VMB (GR HQ) on Saturday, November 11.
