Memorialize Memorial Day for the Fallen; Those that Paid their Ultimate Sacrifice for You, Our Sacred Republic.

    Memorial Day is a time when we as a nation pause to remember and honor the sacrifice of the men and women who gave their lives in the service of our nation.

    Over the course of our history as a nation, over 41 million people have served in our armed forces. Approximately 6% of our current population are veterans while only 1% of our population is currently serving in our armed forces. The U.S. has declared war 11 times and fought in numerous other conflicts over the past 250 years.

    Our citizens and patriots have never hesitated to answer our nation's call. However, this weekend, we honor the approximately 1.2 million service members who gave their lives in defense of our country. We are forever grateful and wish to express our humble gratitude for them and their families. May God bless them this day and every day.

    "Greater love has no one than this, to lay down one's life for his friends." (John 15:13)
