Memorial Day is more than just the kick off of summer. It’s about more than shopping sales, picnics and backyard barbecues.

Memorial Day is a day for memories. It’s about remembering those who fought and died in our many wars. We also remember those who fought and survived – for they made many sacrifices for our country.

We honor those who have protected our country, preserved our freedom, and helped make this country the great nation it is today.

Take a few moments to reflect and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives so we could be free.
