Each year we spend the first weekend of summer visiting with friends and family and enjoying the comfort of our surroundings. Memorial Day is so much more than this - it is a time to honor the memory of our bravest men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice.
From the fields of Saratoga and Gettysburg to the sands of Normandy and Fallujah, American men and women gave their lives for the preservation of our republic and the freedoms we hold dear. We must never forget their sacrifice and the loved ones who are forever changed by their loss.
This Memorial Day, let us all live to earn the liberty they entrusted to our safekeeping and honor their memory for future generations to come.
