Today we remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice purchased freedoms we never want to take for granted.

As we gather with family and friends this Memorial Day, may we pause to reflect with gratitude and remember those who paid the ultimate price. From all of us at the East Ridge Needy Child Fund, thank you to the heroes and families who have served and sacrificed for our nation. 🇺🇸
