"Memorial
Day isn't just about honoring veterans, its honoring those who lost
their lives. Veterans had the fortune of coming home. For us, that's a
reminder of when we come home we still have a responsibility to serve.
It's a continuation of service that honors our country and those who
fell defending it." ~Pete Hegseth
"Memorial Day remains one of America's most cherished
patriotic observances. The spirit of this day has not changed - it
remains a day to honor those who died defending our freedom and
democracy." ~Doc Hastings
"As America celebrates Memorial Day, we pay tribute to those who have given their lives in our nation's wars." ~John M. McHugh
