Memorial Day 2025


It's not a day off from work.

It's looking at history, and what has withstood time and conflict.

It's not meeting friends for a meal and fun.

It's not ice cream and a barbecue.

It's not sitting in your lounge chair.

It's raising your flag, remembering what is important as you look hard at everything.

It's being thankful for those with the courage to serve.

It's remembering brave sacrifices.

It's expressing your pride in your country for all to see, not just on this day but every day of the year.

It's remembering duty and courage and the willingness to defend. 
It's honoring the memory of all of those brave men and women who gave their life in the service of this country, so you could live, here today, in the safe place they made for us.
