MEMORIAL DAY MESSAGE: Remembering the Fallen

As our nation prepares for this long weekend, please remember America’s fallen Defenders of Freedom. It’s their sacrifice that makes Memorial Day a holiday.

So when we gather with friends and family please take a moment to recognize and remember those who gave their lives for us all.

God bless their souls and the United States of America.
