This Memorial Day, we pause to reflect and remember the members of the Armed Services who have served and given their life for our country. For those who have lost a family member, loved one, or comrade, this day has added significance for remembrance, but as Americans, we all honor these heroes for their sacrifice, given to protect our freedom.
We also honor the flag under which these men and women died for the liberty it represents. The flag is flown in communities across the country as a symbol of the nation and values defended by servicemen and women who never returned home.
