We pause today to remember our fallen heroes. Thank you for defending and giving your lives to keep us safe and the banner of freedom flying high. These videos are a tribute to you.
Today is more than a day off and time to spend with the family. It is also a day to remember those who gave their lives for our country’s freedom. It is about the families who today have a hole in their lives that can never be replaced. Today we stop and say a prayer for you and continue to pray for you. We will never forget your sacrifice.
