There is no greater honor than being able to serve those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
This week, members of the United States Veterans Riding Club (USVRC) had the privilege and honor of joining thousands of incredible volunteers at Fort Logan National Cemetery in preparation for Memorial Day. Together, approximately 109,000–110,000 headstones of our fallen and departed service members receive flags as part of this powerful annual tribute.
We were only a small fraction of the many hands involved, but standing among row after row of headstones and placing flags beside those who once raised their hand and swore the same oath reminded us exactly what Memorial Day is about.
As we gather with family and friends during this long weekend, enjoy the freedoms we are blessed to have—but please take a moment to remember what Memorial Day truly represents.
Memorial Day is not simply the start of summer or another three-day weekend. It is a day of remembrance for the brave men and women who laid down their lives in service to this nation. They sacrificed their futures, their dreams, and precious time with loved ones to defend this great country and preserve the freedoms we often enjoy without a second thought.
Because of them, we live free.
Enjoy the BBQs, the laughter, and the moments spent with family—but pause for a moment of gratitude. Remember those who never made it home. Honor their sacrifice. Speak their names. Never forget.
Freedom is not free.
Semper Fidelis.
