President's MessageThis Memorial Day, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Their courage and dedication inspire us to live with gratitude and purpose. As I reflect on this day, I know we all have family and loved ones who have made the ultimate sacrifice. I think it is honorable that our Nation has two holidays specifically honoring those who have given everything in service to their Country. Key Points to Remember on this day of remembrance:
As we enjoy the freedoms secured by those who gave everything, let’s take time this Memorial Day to pause and remember. Whether through a moment of silence, attending a local ceremony, or sharing one of these Memorial Day quotes, each act of remembrance helps ensure that their sacrifices are never forgotten. “Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility.” — Eleanor Roosevelt "How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes." “Their sacrifice was the ultimate act of love for their country. May we always remember them.” — Unknown “In the face of impossible odds, people who love their country can change it.” — Barack Obama “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” — John 15:13 "Spirit, that made those heroes dare To die, and leave their children free, Bid Time and Nature gently spare The shaft we raise to them and thee." - Ralph Waldo Emerson Memorial Day is more than a long weekend—it’s a day to pause, reflect, and remember the ultimate sacrifices made by our Nation’s heroes. For the soldiers who fell in battle, their legacies live on in the freedoms we enjoy today. May the spirit of Memorial Day remind us of the price of freedom and inspire us to live with gratitude, compassion, love, and understanding. This Memorial Day, may we all strive to live lives worthy of their sacrifice. --Michele Rayburn, FWPA President |
