Memorial Day

Memorial Day is one of the federal holidays in the United States for honoring and mourning the U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. This occasion serves as a somber reminder of the cost of freedom, honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation's values. It's a day to reflect on the millions of American men and women who have served, and the significant price paid by those who never returned home. This includes not only those who died in combat but also those who lost their lives due to service-related causes. The holiday acknowledges the significant human cost of military service, including the loss of life and the physical and psychological toll on those who serve. This remembering of the significant sacrifice of those who served is a reminder that our freedom is not free and that we owe a debt of gratitude to those who have given so much. On this day, we reflect and are motivated to continue upholding the values they fought and died for. Next time you see a member of the Armed Forces take a minute and “Thank Them for Their Service”.
