Each year, National Armed Forces Day gives us a moment to pause, reflect, and honor the brave men and women who protect our nation with courage, discipline, and unwavering commitment. At the Brentwood branch of Preferred Rate, we are proud to stand with our service members, veterans, and military families - today and every day.

A day to recognize every branch, every hero

Armed Forces Day is unique because it honors all branches of the U.S. military together:

• Army
• Navy
• Air Force
• Marine Corps
• Coast Guard
• Space Force
• National Guard & Reserve components

These individuals dedicate their lives to defending our freedoms, often making sacrifices most of us will never fully see. Their strength, resilience, and sense of duty inspire us as a team and as a community.

Honoring the families who serve too

Behind every service member is a family that serves right alongside them. They endure deployments, relocations, long nights, and constant change - all while providing love, stability, and support.

Today, we honor:

• Military spouses who hold families together
• Children who show incredible adaptability and courage
• Parents and loved ones who stand proudly behind their heroes

Your sacrifices matter, and we are grateful for you.

Our commitment to military homebuyers

As a mortgage team, we are honored to support those who serve by helping them build stability, wealth, and legacy through homeownership. VA loans remain one of the most powerful benefits available to service members and veterans, offering:

• No down payment
• No mortgage insurance
• Competitive interest rates
• Flexible qualification options

Whether you are active duty, transitioning, or a veteran, our team is here to guide you with clarity, respect, and a deep appreciation for your service.

With gratitude, today and always

On this National Armed Forces Day, we extend our heartfelt thanks to every service member — past, present, and future.

Your courage protects our freedoms.

Your sacrifice strengthens our nation.

Your service inspires us.

From all of us at Preferred Rate — thank you for everything you do.
