While you are enjoying time with family and friends, please take a moment to remember the reason for this three-day weekend. Memorial Day recognizes the greatest sacrifice a man or woman can give for our country – their lives. It is to honor those who have died in the line of service protecting our freedoms and our country.
Memorial Day was established as an official federal holiday in 1971 but has its start in the years following the Civil War. Read more about Memorial Day here.
To all those who have fallen protecting us, you are not forgotten. Thank you for your service and your ultimate sacrifice.
