While this day marks the unofficial start of summer and is often seen as a time for relaxation, let's take a moment to reflect on its deeper meaning. Memorial Day honors those who have perished while serving in our military. They sacrificed to uphold the values and ideals they fought for, striving for the greater good.
There are several veterans in our department. Please also join me in thanking the men and women who served in the military for putting their lives on the line and all those who care for them.
We can learn valuable lessons about selfless service from the individuals Memorial Day commemorates and can strive to incorporate them into our lives, upholding the values and ideals they defended.
Please take a moment today to reflect on the meaning of Memorial Day, those it honors, and its special relevance.
All the best,
Ben
