MEMORIAL DAY
"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." —John 15:12-14
"I am well aware of the toil and blood and treasure that it will cost to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States." —John Adams
We set aside Memorial Day to honor the service and sacrifice of generations of our Armed Forces Patriots, now departed, who defended American Liberty with honor.
Accordingly, I invite you to join our tribute to fallen American Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen.
On Memorial Day, flags should be flown at half-staff from sunrise until noon, your local time.
Please join those honoring veterans across our great nation by observing a moment of silence at 3:00 p.m. local time for remembrance and prayer.
Finally, extend a personal word of gratitude and comfort to surviving family members who grieve for a beloved warrior.
Semper Vigilans Fortis Paratus et Fidelis
