Memorial means to “remember” and every year on the last Monday in May, we honor those who sacrificed their life in the line of active military service. The first Amendment was not only signed into existence with ink, but with the blood of over 1.3 million Americans who have died in U.S. wars since 1775, along with multitudes of wounded who have suffered with physical and mental difficulties. Truly, our privilege and freedom to openly live and speak what we believe are liberties that have come at the highest expense.

Each Memorial Day, we remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their life while serving this great nation. Since the end of the American Revolutionary War, more than 646,000 American troops have died in combat.
