Happy Memorial Day

Arlington National Cemetery


On Memorial Day we pause to honor all those men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice and to remember that freedom is not free.

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We did not pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”- Ronald Reagan
