  • Remembering Our Soldiers on Memorial Day

    We recently commemorated Memorial Day in honor of our brave men and women who fought and died for our freedom.  

    As I watched the flags of each branch of our armed services hoisted and lowered to half-mast at the War Memorial at our local courthouse and listened to each theme song played for each one, I got cold chills as Taps was played for our fallen soldiers.
