Memorial Day Weekend

As Memorial Day approaches, it brings to mind images of parades, picnics, the unofficial start of summer, pool openings, and baseball games. What sometimes can be forgotten is the reason for the holiday: The sacrifices made by U.S. soldiers in times of conflict.

Memorial Day represents one day of national awareness and reverence, honoring those Americans who died while defending our Nation and its values. While we should honor these heroes every day for the profound contribution they have made to securing our Nation's freedom, we should honor them especially on
Memorial Day.

We hope everyone has a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend!
