Freedom in the United States has come at the cost of many lives. Memorial Day is a time to remember all of those courageous Americans who have given their life to defend our way of life.

It is not only important to remember those that made the ultimate sacrifice defending our country but to also remember those that have died in the line of duty protect our community as well.

"A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles." Christopher Reeves.
