Growing up in Military City USA, Memorial Day and honoring those who gave
their lives in service to our country has always meant a great deal to me, even
before I first put on my Air Force uniform.

This Memorial Day, I’m thinking of what American heroes have sacrificed to
serve our nation and defend our freedoms. And, I’m thinking about the
sacrifices made by the heroes here at home serving on the frontlines of this
pandemic — the nurses, grocery store employees, bus and truck drivers,
janitorial staff and more who are working tirelessly to keep us safe and
healthy.

These folks never swore a formal oath, but their actions exemplify the same
values that I swore to protect when I served in Iraq. We as a nation must
ensure that those who have died in service of others during this pandemic are
honored, too. We may never know all of their names. We may never know just how
many lives they saved. But, we know they rushed to the frontlines of this
pandemic to ensure the rest of us were safe and healthy, and many paid the
ultimate sacrifice in the course of that selfless service.

On this Memorial Day, as I think about those who died to protect our freedoms,
I am equally thankful today for those who are willing to risk it all for us, no
matter what uniform they wear.

In service,

Gina Ortiz Jones
