“Our obligations to our country never cease but with our lives.” —John Adams

Patriots, today is the 150th anniversary of the first Decorations Day, now Memorial Day remembrance, when Congressman (and later president) James Garfield addressed more than 5,000 families of fallen military personnel at Arlington Cemetery. We set aside Memorial Day to honor the service and sacrifice of generations of our Armed Forces Patriots who perished in battle (and more broadly all Veterans now departed) — those who “supported and defended” with honor, the American Liberty enshrined in our Constitution.

Accordingly, I invite you to read our tribute to fallen American Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen.

On Memorial Day, flags should be flown at half-staff from sunrise until noon, your local time. Please join Patriots honoring veterans across our great nation by observing a moment of silence at 3:00 p.m. local time for remembrance and prayer. Finally, extend a personal word of gratitude and comfort to surviving family members who grieve for a beloved warrior.

NOTE: Our office will be closed Monday, May 28th. The daily Digest and Snapshot will resume publication on Tuesday, May 29th.
