Memorial Day - To honor the sacrifices of America’s fallen heroes and to ensure that they are never forgotten. As we honor those who died, that made the ultimate sacrifice in serving their nation, we can celebrate the service of those who have survived our wars, as well as honor our military men and women who are fighting now 10,000 miles away. Take a moment on Memorial Day to remember, to honor those who have died in service to our country, and acknowledge the sorrow and the suffering of those they left behind.
