Dear Friend,
A couple of weeks ago, I had the profound honor of visiting Arlington National Cemetery with my 11-year-old son. As we stood together watching the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, we were both overwhelmed with emotion—walking away with tears in our eyes and gratitude in our hearts.
That solemn experience reminded us of a truth we must never forget: our nation is free because of the brave. The men and women we honor on Memorial Day gave the ultimate sacrifice—not for recognition, but so that future generations could live in freedom.
Today, as we remember those who laid down their lives for America, let us also ask ourselves: What are we doing to preserve the liberty they died to protect? Are we passing on the torch of freedom with the same courage, conviction, and love for country?
Let us not only honor their sacrifice with our words, but live in a way that proves it was not in vain—by standing firm for the values they died to defend and committing ourselves to keeping this nation strong and free.
This Memorial Day, we remember. We honor. And we pledge to continue the fight to keep America great—for their sake, and for our children’s future.
