“Our obligations to our country never cease but with our lives.” —John Adams
Patriots, we set aside Memorial Day to honor those who have died in the service of our nation’s Armed Forces — those who have abided by their solemn oaths “to support and defend” the American Liberty too many take for granted.
Accordingly, I invite you to read our Memorial Day tribute honoring American Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen, who died in the service of our nation, and honoring their families.
On Memorial Day, flags should be flown at half-staff from sunrise until noon, your local time. Please join Patriots honoring veterans across our great nation by observing a moment of silence at 3:00 p.m. local time for remembrance and prayer, and extend a personal word of gratitude and comfort to surviving family members who grieve for a beloved warrior.
Finally, some businesses promote a “Memorial Day Sale.” Please advise them that Memorial Day is NOT for sale — 1,354,664 American Patriots have already paid the full price.
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” —John 15:12-14
NOTE: Our office will be closed on Memorial Day. The daily Digest and Snapshot will resume publication on Tuesday.
