Memorial Day 2026 We honor this day with respect, remembrance, and gratitude for the brave who never came home. Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere who bravely bears his country's cause. Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field and serves, as he best can, the same cause. Each of the patriots whom we remember on this day was first a beloved son or daughter, a brother or sister, or a spouse, friend, and neighbor. We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened. America is HOPE. It is COMPASSION. It is EXCELLENCE. It is VALOR. There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured with what is right in America. Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty. Those who have long enjoyed such privileges as we enjoy forget in time that men have died to win them. One flag, one land, one heart, one hand, one nation forevermore! A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself. Our nation owes a debt to its fallen heroes that we can never fully repay. Happy Memorial Day!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
