Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day!

Greetings to you and your family on this Memorial Day weekend. Unlike Veterans Day, in which we celebrate the contributions of all who served in the military, Memorial Day is a time when we honor those men and women of our armed forces who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

As we enjoy village parades, backyard barbeques and time with family and friends, let us take some time to honor and reflect upon the people who sacrificed everything.

We must not only honor those who have given their lives for our country, but also ensure that when veterans come home, they have access to jobs and health care. We will work together to advocate for veterans returning to their families and communities.

We hope you have a safe and happy Memorial Day.
