May is #NationalMilitaryAppreciationMonth. We support our military every day, but here in the month of May, we especially honor and recognize their ongoing commitment and sacrifice. And, we are proud to be a Great American Defense Community (@defensecomm Class of 2020).

St. Clair County is a mix of urban, suburban, and rural. We celebrate all. Our rural areas include over 700 farms. Please be patient during this planting season. #twill
