Celebrate the lives of those who gave them for our country

This Memorial Day weekend, local organizations will assemble at various locations to commemorate those fallen on behalf of our country. A Congressional declaration reminds everyone “to voluntarily and informally observe in their own way a moment of remembrance and respect, pausing from whatever they are doing for a moment of silence or listening to ‘Taps.’”
