Memorial Day

A lot of people are so excited to have a three-day holiday weekend to drink, BBQ, and chill, that they don't stop to ask, what is Memorial Day all about?

To the family and friends of the fallen men and women of the U.S. military, we will never forget their sacrifice. We don't know them all, but we owe them all.

A reminder to remember this weekend. If you've lost a loved one who has sacrificed his or her life for our nation, I want you to know we are thinking of you.

Memorial Day is to remember the fallen men and women of the Armed Forces. Veterans Day recognizes all living members of the Armed Forces.
