Memorial Day

Since the founding of our country during the American Revolution, more than a million American soldiers have given their lives to protect our freedom. From the Minutemen who fought the British at Lexington and Concord in 1775 to the soldiers who are still fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan this very day, we must never forget the brave men and women in uniform who have given their lives for this country.
