Honoring Our Heroes
Posted by Dana Walsh - Mon, May 31, 2010 at 10:29 AM
As you gather with your family and friends for Memorial Day festivities, let us take a moment to reflect on the meaning and significance of this day for our country.
Generations of men and women have given their lives to serve in the armed services. Today there are almost 3 million Veterans and over 1.2 million active duty military personnel who call California home. I am so proud of to have so many heroes living in our cities and neighborhoods.
Their dedication and tremendous sacrifice provides you and I the foundation to have the fullest of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. For some these sacrifices have come at a great cost.
So on this Memorial Day, let's join together with great humility and gratitude to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice to our country. We also honor those lost lives by thanking to those who put their lives in danger for you and I.
Thank you Veterans and active duty military personnel! We do not take your service for granted.
Happy Memorial Day,
As a proud military family—- we really appreciate the recognition. Too often do politicians use us as political pawns. Thank you for your support and kind words.
