🇺🇸 Being called the City of Valor means more to our community than a place where we host a car show. 🇺🇸
Leeds is proud to be home to three Congressional Medal of Honor recipients: Henry “Red” Erwin, William R. Lawley Jr., and Alford L. McLaughlin, and is widely recognized as having the highest per-capita concentration of Medal of Honor recipients in the United States. 🇺🇸
The City of Valor represents patriotism, sacrifice, fellowship, the freedom to own a small business, and the people who continue showing up for this town every single day.
Communities like Leeds are built by hardworking families, Veterans, local business owners, volunteers, and organizations willing to invest in something bigger than themselves.
If honor of the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we’re excited to launch CityofValor.com, a community initiative created to connect Veterans and the public with Veteran focused events, discounts, organizations, recovery resources, transition assistance, mental wellness initiatives, and meaningful ways to support the men and women who served our country. 🇺🇸
CityofValor.com is an 💡 incubator project we’ve joined through The Incubator Foundation, a registered Alabama 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization where ideas like this go to grow.
Visit CityofValor.com to explore what our town is offering our Veterans, discover Veteran-focused events the community can participate in to show support, and learn more about organizations and initiatives making a difference.
📩 Send us a message if you have something meaningful you’d like to add to the initiative.
