On This Memorial Day at 3:00 PM

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States to remember the men and women who died while serving in our armed forces and to honor their memory for the service they were providing - giving all of us the freedom and ideals we enjoy.   Today at 3:00 PM, local time, is the National Moment of Remembrance to voluntarily and informally pause for a moment of silence in observance and respect.  Greatly and proudly let us remember our family, neighbors, friends who have offered the ultimate sacrifice to preserve our freedom and the ideals that, regardless of our origin, unify us as a nation.   "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, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty." - John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 35th President of the United States   On behalf of the Chairman, Executive Committee, Board of Directors, and Staff, we thank you.

Soldiers are defenders of the same principles that made this country great. They stand as Patriots to defend and protect the ideals and sentiments espoused in the Constitution of the United States. Soldiers bear true faith and allegiance to that document and they work, and live, within the Codes of Military Justice. Soldiers also obey the orders of the President of the United States and the Officers appointed over them. These truths are self evident in the everyday lives of soldiers.
