Good Morning and Happy Memorial Day!
Originally known as Decoration Day, we dedicate Memorial Day to the remembrance of military personnel who have lost their lives in the service of our country.
Here are some thoughts from a few of our former Presidents:
“I don’t have to tell you how fragile this precious gift of freedom is. Every time we hear, watch, or read the news, we are reminded that liberty is a rare commodity in this world.”
– President Ronald Reagan
“In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved.”
– President Franklin D. Roosevelt
“Peace does not come just because we wish for it. Peace must be fought for. It must be built stone by stone.”
– President Lyndon Johnson
“The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.”
– President Thomas Jefferson
Our hearts are filled with awe and gratitude for the men and women who have so faithfully and selflessly protected us. We are also filled with appreciation and compassion for the families who have lost loved ones due to military service. Let this be a day to celebrate our freedoms, but more importantly, the sacrifices many have made to ensure the wellbeing of this exceptional country in which we live and thrive.
Be Well & Be Blessed!
