As we enjoy time with our neighbors, our friends, and our families this Memorial Day weekend, it’s important for us to remember the sacrifices of those who have served our nation. Memorial Day is our chance to honor the brave men and women of our armed forces who have given their lives for our freedom. It is our chance to lift up the names of our fallen soldiers, and to serve and recognize veterans in our Locals and communities.
