For all those who have served in the American armed forces and given their lives in the course of their duty.

For their families, who carry the pain of losing a loved one, no matter how noble the cause.

For veterans who served during a time when military service fell out of favor, who may have endured both violence in action and scorn at home.

For those who currently serve our country, giving every part of themselves in pursuit of a better world.

For their families, who faithfully serve beside them through deployments and transfers.

For the military spouses with children, who provide a stable home while their child misses the parent who is deployed.

Thank you all for your bravery, generosity, and commitment.

Memorial Day
