What is Memorial Day? Memorial Day is one of our nation’s oldest and most significant holidays. It was born solely of our shared American heritage. Together, we recall the glory and sacrifice of all who have set their personal aspirations aside for the preservation of our society. Whether it is the Doughboys of World War I, our Greatest Generation in World War II, our Forgotten Warriors who served in Korea and Vietnam, the Liberators of Kuwait, Iraq and Afghanistan, or countless others who served and sacrificed in smaller American actions around the world. We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the men and women who took up arms against the enemies of the United States, laying down their lives to ensure a brighter future for those they fought and died for.
This Memorial Day, of all days, we must reflect on what it truly means to live in freedom. We must solidify and reaffirm our commitment to our service members. We owe all of our veterans, both past and present, a debt of gratitude for their sacrifices in the defense of liberty and it is our solemn duty to keep the memory alive of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. May God bless those who gave their last breath for freedom's cause and may God's light shine upon those loved one's left behind.
