On this upcoming Memorial Day, and always, we remember and honor the brave men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. 

“We do not know one promise these men made, one pledge they gave, one word they spoke; but we do know they summed up and perfected, by one supreme act, the highest virtues of men and citizens. For love of country they accepted death, and thus resolved all doubts, and made immortal their patriotism and their virtue.” 

– James A. Garfield, May 30, 1868, speaking at the first national commemoration of Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery.
