On the last Monday in the month of May, Memorial Day celebrations large and small take place around the state as we remember with solemn gratitude those who have given their lives for our freedom.
As a Marine Corps veteran, it is especially important to me that we never forget the tremendous sacrifice our service members make every day to protect our American way of life.
Although for many of us Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer and is a time for barbecues, going to the beach or spending time with family, let us not forget the true meaning of this day.
God Bless America.
