MEMORIAL DAY 2019

Vintage_Patriotic_Art_Card_Memorial_Day-029

Today is the day we formally express our thanks, with gratitude and in remembrance, of the men and women having selflessly given their lives, honoring us, and the freedoms won. If we fail to remember and honor these brave men and women, we’re likely to forget their great sacrifices; let us not forget.
