On this, Memorial Day, 2025, we remember and honor the sacrifice of those who volunteered, fought and all too often died to protect the freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States of America. We can not permit their spirit and their sacrifice to be wasted by those who would tear up the Constitution, those whose imagined grievances lead them to lash out against other Americans.
We particularly honor the service of those who have fought for their country even as a small minded few would remove them from our military. Transgender members of the military service are always in our hearts; no petty expositions of ignorance or political expedience will ever diminish our respect and gratitude to them.
