Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom.

Specifically, June 19, 1865, when news of emancipation finally reached the last enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

It is a powerful reminder that freedom is more than just a word. Join us in celebrating the right of all people to be free.

Our offices will be closed June 19 in observance of Juneteenth.
IPS clients can always access their account information at My IPS Account Information, or contact their agent directly if a holiday emergency arises.

IPS agents Matthew Wagner, Kevin White, Doyle Hays, Tyler Wiltshire, Marcy Ellis, Sydney Williamson, Dina Stubbs, Clancy Walker, and Judy Rogers wish all of you a happy Flag Day weekend. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

We are all truly grateful for the freedoms we enjoy in our great country because of the brave men and women represented by our flag.

National Flag Day is observed on June 14th, which is Sunday this year. The holiday commemorates the date in 1777 when the United States approved the design for its first National Flag. 🇺🇸

We thank God for each and everyone who has fought to defend the freedoms that this Flag represents. 🇺🇸

Look at those faces.

Many of those young men climbing into landing craft on June 6, 1944, would never see another sunrise. Historians estimate that casualties among the first waves were devastating, with entire units suffering horrific losses as they hit the beaches of Normandy.

Some of them never made it to 18 years old.

They never cast a vote.

They never fell in love, got married, raised children, bought a home, or grew old surrounded by grandchildren.

Think about that.

Everything we enjoy today—the freedom to speak our minds, worship as we choose, raise our families, and pursue our dreams—was purchased with a price they willingly paid.

They stepped off those boats into machine-gun fire knowing death was a real possibility. Yet they went anyway. Not for fame. Not for recognition. Not for themselves.

They went because freedom was worth fighting for.

Today, on the anniversary of D-Day, take a moment to remember the young Americans who never came home. They gave up their entire future so that we could have ours.

May we never forget their sacrifice, and may we always strive to be worthy of it.

Freedom is not free.
It was paid for by heroes who never got the chance to grow old.
