This Memorial Day, the Hyner Lodge Foundation pauses to remember the true cost of our freedom. Our foundation was born out of love, loss, and legacy—founded in memory of Navy SEAL Michael E. Koch, who made the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq. At the Lodge, we always say that veterans are family. Today, our hearts are with the Gold Star families, the brothers and sisters-in-arms, and everyone missing a piece of their family puzzle. We don’t just remember their names; we commit to keeping their stories, their bravery, and their spirits alive.
