This holiday weekend, please take a moment to reflect on the real meaning behind this holiday - the ultimate sacrifice of life made by so many of our military men and women. Without the selfless duty of these people, we would not be able to enjoy and even take for granted, the freedom we have today.
We should not forget the equal sacrifices made by the families of these individuals. Their lives were also changed forever due to the circumstances put upon them. And they, too, gave their best for the generations that followed.
This Memorial Day weekend, please take a moment to give thanks for your freedom. Thank God for His gift of the many men and women of valor and courage who willingly gave all to grant us the privilege of being Americans today.
I salute all those who have fallen in service of our great country.
