Observed the last Monday in May, Memorial Day serves as a time to reflect on the brave men, women and service animals who have fought and passed while defending our country’s core values. Fighting to protect our citizen’s rights to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and freedom of speech, these heroic individuals made the ultimate sacrifice. While as of late Americans have celebrated this day by throwing barbeques, shopping closeout sales and traveling over long weekends, Memorial Day is meant as a time to reflect and honor members of the military who have passed while protecting us.

In honor of the fallen who have served our country!
