Friend,
From our Nation’s founding, so many heroes whose names we will never know were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for future generations whose name they would never know. Whether it was fighting for our independence, freeing our nation from the bonds of slavery, or fighting totalitarianism and extremism around the world, the unique quality of the American soldier is their willingness to give up their lives so that the people and the Nation they love might live free.
It is so important that we remember the true meaning of Memorial Day. It is a day when our nation pauses, prays, and remembers the bravest among us. Our VFW posts, American Legion posts, and Veteran Service Organizations throughout our community serve and remember our heroes in uniform every day. So must we, whether that’s pausing for a brief moment to pray for those who we’ve lost and for the safety of those currently serving, to thanking a veteran whenever and wherever you see them, to random acts of kindness for Gold Star Families. Memorial Day is when we as a Nation stop, pause, pray and thank.
On this Memorial Day, please take a moment to think about its meaning. Think of all of the conflicts that our soldiers have fought in throughout American history. And think about how their sacrifice allowed you to be spending today however you are choosing to spend it. For in remembering the true meaning of Memorial Day, we will reignite the American spark within us, knowing that this unique American grit and courage is built into our DNA and is exemplified by the courage of our heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice.
May God bless each one of our military heroes and their families, today and every day.
