As Memorial Day weekend approaches, our hearts swell with pride and gratitude for the brave souls who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. The holiday is not just about barbecues and gatherings; it's a solemn reminder of the extraordinary courage and selflessness of our fallen heroes.

When you see someone wearing a red poppy this weekend, it shows they understand the true meaning of Memorial Day. The poppy is a symbol of remembrance, honoring the valor and sacrifice of those who gave their lives in service to our country.

This weekend, let’s pause to pay tribute to these extraordinary men and women. Attend a parade, join a memorial service, or visit a cemetery to honor their memory and express our heartfelt gratitude. And let's not forget to thank the veterans and service members we meet. Their dedication and sacrifice continue to safeguard the freedoms we hold dear.

If someone offers you a poppy, wear it proudly as a symbol of remembrance and respect, a small but meaningful gesture of our enduring gratitude.

From the depth of my heart, I extend my warmest wishes to you and your loved ones for a safe and meaningful Memorial Day weekend. May we never forget the incredible sacrifices made by our fallen heroes, and may their legacy inspire us to cherish and uphold the values for which they fought so valiantly.
