First responders not to be overlooked this Veterans Day

Ed Jenkins served in the Vietnam War and is making a special public request this Veterans Day. 

This upcoming Veterans Day holiday is likely to be filled with festivities and celebrating those that have served in the military and honoring those that died in the line of duty. 

However, one local veteran is looking out for more than his fellow brothers and sisters-in-arms this year. Edward “Ed” Jenkins is asking locals to extend their gratitude not just to those who have served in the military, but to first responders as well.
