Our Eternal Gratitude for Their Endless Courage & Sacrifice
MEMORIAL DAY, MAY 28, 2018 Though many people are quick to refer to Memorial Day as the unofficial beginning of summer, the day is much more than that. On Memorial Day and every day, we honor the men and women who sacrificed everything to defend and protect the values we as a nation hold so dear. We recognize that freedom is not free, and we thank all those who serve for their valor and dedication.
The men and women who defend the liberties and freedoms of the countries they represent hold a special place in people’s hearts and an eternal spot in their countries’ histories. Any opportunity is a good time to pause and remember fallen veterans, but this holiday is an especially poignant time to thank our military personnel, and to honor those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.
The following are just a handful of ways to show appreciation for military men and women:
meals, mow the lawn, help with grocery shopping, or simply provide emotional support.
· Visit a military memorial in a city or town near you. Such memorials can be a source of inspiration for your community.
· Have children speak with veterans in your family, including grandparents, uncles and aunts or even their own parents. It can help them gain perspective on the important roles the military plays.
· Support a military family in your town who may be missing a loved one. Make
