Dear Friends,
This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation.
Their courage and sacrifice secured the freedoms we enjoy today and remind us of the extraordinary cost of liberty. We are deeply grateful for the generations of Americans who selflessly served and laid down their lives to protect our country and preserve freedom for others.
On May 31, 1982 at Arlington National Cemetery, Ronald Reagan said,
“The United States and the freedom for which it stands, the freedom for which they died, must endure and prosper. Their lives remind us that freedom is not bought cheaply. It has a cost; it imposes a burden. And just as they whom we commemorate were willing to sacrifice, so too must we—in a less final, less heroic way—be willing to give of ourselves.”
As we reflect this Memorial Day, may we never take these sacrifices for granted. We also extend our gratitude and prayers to the men and women who continue to serve our nation today, along with the military families who support them.
From all of us at Family Policy Alliance, we wish you and your family a meaningful and reflective Memorial Day.
With gratitude,
The Family Policy Alliance Team
