Friends and neighbors,

This weekend, please take a moment to honor and remember the fallen heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our great country. Their bravery and selflessness are the reason we have the freedoms we cherish – and the freedoms we fight to uphold every day.

As we reflect on their sacrifices, let us also extend our heartfelt gratitude to their families. These families have carried the weight of loss with remarkable strength and resilience. Their love, support, and sacrifice are a testament to the spirit and patriotism that define our nation.

God bless these fallen heroes, their families, and the United States of America.
