Coronavirus update: May 25 - Memorial Day
Washington,

Here is an update for May 25th - Memorial Day.
Thought of the day: We don’t know them all, but we owe them all. -Unknown Today is Memorial Day. A time to pause to honor the brave individuals who have served our country in uniform and gave their lives for this nation we love. To me, Memorial Day is about traditions – parades, services, gathering, and more. It’s hard to quantify all the virus has taken from us. It can take so much – but it will not break our spirit. We remember all the heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice. It is in that spirit I go forth with today: to honor those who have served and lost their lives so that their memories and sacrifices will not be forgotten. During the Second World War, the legendary correspondent Ernie Pyle chronicled the story of the average American soldier. And he wrote, “In the end, they are the ones that wars can’t be won without.”
