We remember that not all returned from “that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion.”
Many of the people in our industry have served in the armed forces.
Some of our companies have employees on active duty.
Some of us have family serving.
You may have sung the Star Spangled Banner a thousand times. You may have heard it 10,000 times.
But you hear it with your whole body when it is your daughter or son that is deployed.
This Memorial Day, we will remember.
We are not at war.
Our politicians are not at war.
Some of our employees, some of our sons and daughters are at war.
This Memorial Day, we will remember.
We will show we are grateful for their service.
This memorial day we hope that you remember too:
“…that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.”
