This past weekend was filled with sunshine, BBQs, laughter, and time with friends and family; we’re truly grateful for that.
But tomorrow, be sure to pause and remember what this day is truly about.
We honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice is the reason we get to enjoy the freedoms we do, not just this weekend, but every day.
Thank you to all who served and never came home. We remember you. Happy Memorial Day!
