Six months into 2026, and we want to thank the community that has stood with us this year.

The work this association does is only possible because of the people who believe in it. Members. Families. Friends of the association. Every single person who supports the mission plays a part in what we are able to do, even when the work is quiet and behind the scenes.

We are not at the finish line. The need does not pause at the halfway mark, and neither do we.

Tag someone who has supported this association in any way this year. They should know it has not gone unnoticed.

There are a few dates in American history that should never need an explanation. June 6, 1944 is one of them.

Operation Overlord, better known as D-Day, marked the start of the Allied liberation of Western Europe. American troops landed at Utah and Omaha beaches alongside British and Canadian forces. The fighting in that single day was brutal beyond description, and by nightfall, more than 4,400 Allied soldiers had been killed.

82 years later, the words "the greatest generation" still come up because of what happened that day and the days that followed. Many veterans who serve in our community now stand on that same legacy.

This association does not let June 6 pass quietly. We never will.

Today is Memorial Day. Not a long weekend. Not a sale. A day set aside to remember the men and women who gave everything.

The roots of this holiday go back to May 1868, when General John A. Logan issued a proclamation designating May 30 as a day to decorate the graves of those who died in the Civil War. What began as flowers placed on graves eventually grew into a national observance honoring every American service member lost in every conflict this country has ever fought. More than 1.3 million Americans have died in military service throughout the nation's history.

Our members are working today, as they do on every holiday, keeping this community safe while families gather to remember. We do not take that lightly on any day, but especially not this one.

Peace Officer Memorial Day is observed today across the country. Flags fly at half-staff, and they should.

President Kennedy signed the law establishing this observance in 1962. Since then, more than 22,000 names have been added to the National Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington D.C., representing every line of duty death in American history. Each name belongs to someone who left behind a family that had to keep going without them.

The risk these professionals accept is real. The support we provide their families needs to be real too.

Some losses are too large to fully comprehend. Today is Children of Fallen Patriots Day, and it asks us to sit with one of those losses for a moment.

An estimated 25,000 children have lost a parent in military service over the last 35 years. May 13 was selected as the observance date because it marks the establishment of Arlington National Cemetery in 1864, a permanent reminder of what military service can cost. The Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation has awarded over 82 million dollars in scholarships to more than 4,000 of these children since 2002.

Our association understands what it means to lose someone in the line of duty. We stand with these families today and encourage our community to do the same.

This week is National Police Week, and it carries a weight that words do not always do justice to.

National Police Week 2026 runs from May 11 through May 17, with memorial ceremonies, honor guard tributes, and survivor events taking place across Washington D.C. This year marks the 38th Annual Candlelight Vigil, where the names of every law enforcement professional killed in the line of duty in the past year are read aloud, one by one, in front of the families and colleagues they left behind.

For our association, this week is personal.

The members we represent know what it takes to put on the uniform every day. They know the names of the ones who did not come home. They carry that with them on every shift, and they show up anyway, because that is the job.

Share this post so every name remembered this week reaches one more person.

Today is Mother's Day, and we want to take a moment to actually mean it.

Anna Jarvis, who campaigned for the holiday's creation, later spent years fighting to keep it from becoming too commercialized. By the 1920s she was publicly critical of the greeting card industry and even called for the holiday to be removed from the national calendar. She believed it was meant to be a personal, sincere expression, not a commercial event. It is a reminder that the original intent was simple: stop and recognize the people who give more than they are given credit for.

Our members working shifts today are serving this community while missing time with their own families. That sacrifice is worth acknowledging today just as much as everything else.

Today is Military Spouse Appreciation Day, and it is one that deserves a lot more than a social media post.

Military spouses hold things together in ways that rarely get acknowledged. President Ronald Reagan established this observance in 1984 through Proclamation 5184, making it an official national recognition of the sacrifices made by the spouses of military personnel. At the time of signing, Reagan called military spouses "the unsung heroes of the armed forces."

Several members of this association serve in the reserve components, and the spouses supporting them here at home are part of what makes that dual service possible. They do not wear a uniform, but they serve just the same.

Happy Cinco de Mayo to every family in our community celebrating today.

The date marks something worth knowing. On May 5, 1862, a Mexican army of roughly 4,000 soldiers defeated a French force of more than 6,000 at the Battle of Puebla under General Ignacio Zaragoza. The French army had not suffered a major battlefield defeat in nearly 50 years before that day. It became one of the most celebrated moments in Mexican military history and a symbol of resilience that carries forward to this day.

Our members are out on patrol making sure every celebration in this community stays safe so families can enjoy it the way it was meant to be enjoyed.

On April 23, 1908, Congress created the Medical Reserve Corps, a group of 160 military doctors who could be called to active duty in times of emergency. That small, practical decision became the foundation of what is now the United States Army Reserve.

118 years later, the Reserve has answered the call in every major American conflict from World War I through the present day. Today it stands at approximately 172,000 soldiers, each one a civilian who chose to remain available to their country on top of everything else life requires of them. That kind of commitment does not get enough recognition.

Members of this association who serve in the Reserve carry that history with them every shift. We are proud to stand alongside them.
