“Colonial Beach’s police officers, firefighters and rescue squad members are heroes, through and through,” said Westmoreland’s Nancy Niswander, director of admissions and business development. “This annual observance and lunch are small tokens of Westmoreland’s everyday appreciation and gratitude for their bravery and all they do to help those in the Colonial Beach community.
