"Without memory, there is no culture. Without memory, there would be no civilization, no society, no future." Let us remember on Memorial Day the brave people who gave their lives in order to secure our freedom. This is a moment to consider their courage, tenacity, and unshakable dedication to defending the principles of our country. As we assemble with Loved ones, let's pause to honor those who gave their all to preserve the freedom of our nation. Whether it's by meaningful rituals, quiet times, or deeds of kindness, let's make sure their memory lives on. We also owe a debt of appreciation to the veterans and active-duty military personnel who daily protect our rights. Let us work together to make this Memorial Day a moving reminder of the sacrifice, honor, and togetherness that characterize our country.
