Dear friend,

On Memorial Day, we honor the servicemembers who sacrificed their lives for our nation.

But amid so much division in our country, how should we understand the “last full measure of devotion” that they gave? Has the distance between the American dream and our American reality become a chasm simply too wide to cross?

We hope you’ll take a moment today to reflect on the lives lost in service to our nation, and to join us in considering our duty, as survivors and as Americans, to manifest the American Dream.

From all of us at New Politics, we wish you a restful Memorial Day.
