Thanks to you on Memorial Day

Thanks to you on Memorial Day, it is the right of every American to relax with friends or family and to celebrate the approach of summer. But on this holiday, it is also the responsibility of every citizen to remember. Remember why it is important that we never forget and why we pay our respects to our service members and the loved ones left behind.

For it has been said so truthfully that “It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the agitator, who has given us the freedom to protest. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives that protester the freedom to abuse and burn that flag.” – Zell Miller


Thank you,

"A veteran is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America' for an amount of 'up to and including my life'. That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it."---Author Unknown
