On this Memorial Day we remember the men and women who have chosen to serve and fight for freedom. Some have given their lives on the battlefield. Many return home and struggle with the atrocities they have seen and what they have experienced. Their lives have forever been changed. Their families’ lives have changed as they wait for their loved ones to come back. We owe all of them so much for their sacrifice. To all of you who have served or are currently serving in the United States military, thank you! Also, thank you to the families who have sacrificed the comfort of being together for the sake of our freedom and protection. You are not forgotten.
