“For love of country they accepted death, and thus resolved all doubts, and made immortal their patriotism and their virtue.” –James A. Garfield

On Memorial Day, we are pausing to reflect upon those who have paid the ultimate price in their service to country. We have so much to be thankful for because of those who serve and defend our country, and its citizens.

In addition to remembering those no longer with us, we also express our gratitude to those who are presently serving and their families. We recognize the journey you are on is not easy, and we acknowledge we can never fully understand the sacrifices made. We are thankful to each and every brave man and woman who has chosen this path.

Thank you, members of our Armed Forces, both past and current, for your service. Today we honor you.
