Memorial Day 2026

Thank you to those who gave their lives in service to our country.

On this Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor the sacrifices made by the men and women who lost their lives while serving in the United States Armed Forces. We reflect with gratitude on their courage, dedication, and enduring legacy.

Among the many traditions associated with Memorial Day, the red poppy has become a lasting symbol of remembrance. Traditionally worn to honor those who gave their lives in service, the poppy represents sacrifice, loss, and hope, while also acknowledging the resilience of those who returned home carrying the lasting impact of war.
