This Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who gave their lives for the preservation of liberty and the endurance of this great Republic.

As America approaches the 250th birthday of her founding, may we never forget that freedom was secured through courage, sacrifice, and duty to something greater than self.

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13

May we always remain worthy of their sacrifice. 🇺🇸
