Remembering America’s Fallen Heroes
State Representative Wendy McNamara
This Memorial Day, let us reflect on the military members who made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting our great nation.
There are many ways we can honor their service, like visiting a veterans’ cemetery, memorial or museum, and offering support through veterans organizations. We can also take part in the annual National Moment of Remembrance. At 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day, Americans are encouraged to take a minute of silence to reflect on the freedoms our heroes fought to give us. It is also important to impart the significance of this holiday on future generations so that these service members are not forgotten.
Locally, there will be two Memorial Day events in Evansville at Locust Hill Cemetery at 10:00 a.m. and Oak Hill Cemetery at 11:00 a.m. on Monday.Â
I join my fellow Hoosiers in offering gratitude for the service and sacrifice of these men and women.
