CAN WE HAVE A MOMENT OF SILENCE PLEASE!🇺🇸🫡

“Some gave a piece of themselves.
Some gave everything.
This Memorial Day,
we don’t celebrate war.
We remember sacrifice.
The empty seats at dinner tables.
The folded flags.
The names etched in stone.
The mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, brothers, and sisters who never came home.
Freedom was never free.
And remembrance should never fade.
Today we stand still for the ones who can’t.
We honor them.
We mourn them.
We carry them with us.”
