What It Means to Serve Scholarship

Every year hundreds of thousands enlist to serve our military. Every person enlisting dedicates their time, energy, and, most importantly, their lives to ensure that we have the freedoms and liberties we use every day. Their sacrifices are something that we do not take for granted. 

At Mickey Keenan, P.A., we not only honor those that have served our country but are among them. Mickey Keenan has spent part of his career in the Army Reserves fighting for our country.
