Memorial Day is a day to remember and not take for granted your time with friends and family. Thank you to those that made the ultimate sacrifice for this country. Thank you to those that helped at Rincon Cemetery, to remember those buried there.

“To be killed in war is not the worst that can happen. To be lost is not the worst that can happen… to be forgotten is the worst.”
