Memorial Day is more than barbecues and a three-day weekend – it’s a day to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice protecting our nation and the liberties we hold dear.
For more than 250 years, the men and women in our armed forces have answered the call to serve our nation in battle and protect our families and freedoms.
Today, as you celebrate the holiday with your loved ones, I ask that you remember those who didn’t return home.
As always, I want to offer my deepest appreciation for the brave heroes who gave their lives for our nation. To their family and friends, please know your loved ones will not be forgotten as we strive to continuously honor and remember their legacy.
