Memorial Day is one of the most important days we recognize as citizens of the United States of America. This quote by Harry S. Truman helps us understand that it is our duty to reflect on and express our gratitude for the service of those who have fought to protect our rights and freedoms. Many individuals have given their lives to enshrine the daily comforts and feelings of happiness we are able to enjoy, and we should never take this for granted. Originally, this day celebrated the end of the Civil War, but it now acts as a solemn reminder of all that we have fought for as a nation throughout our proud history: freedom, liberty, democracy, and fairness. Pausing regular life to remember the sacrifices of those who came before and celebrating all that we have yet to do as a great nation is one small way to show our understanding of the complex and painful histories we represent as a nation. When so much of the world is experiencing so much grief, we owe it to ourselves to reflect on our own past and all that we have worked together to protect and provide for the citizens of the United States. This Memorial Day, as we enjoy the beginning of summer, let us also solemnly consider our ongoing responsibility to uphold and fight for those values that comprise this beautiful country: freedom, fairness, and equality for all. #memorialday #freedom #equalityforall

Honoring Memorial Day Respect and Reflection As we approach Memorial Day, it's important to remember that this day is not about self promotion or personal gain. It is a solemn occasion to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Here are some respectful ways to commemorate their memory without making it about ourselves: Attend a Memorial Service: Participate in a local ceremony or virtual event to show your respect, not to showcase your presence. Visit a Memorial or Cemetery: Pay your respects quietly by visiting a war memorial or a veteran's cemetery, without turning it into a photo opportunity. Support Gold Star Families: Offer genuine support to families who have lost loved ones in service, rather than using it as a platform for your own visibility. Educate Yourself and Others: Learn and share the stories of those who served and sacrificed, focusing on their bravery rather than your role in sharing the story. Pause for a Moment of Silence: At 3 p.m. local time, join the National Moment of Remembrance, not for show but out of genuine respect. Volunteer: Dedicate your time to veteran organizations or causes that support our service members and their families, keeping the focus on their needs rather than your contributions. This Memorial Day, let’s commit to reflection, gratitude, and truly honoring the memories of our fallen heroes. It's about their sacrifice, not our self-promotion. #MemorialDay #HonorAndRemember #Gratitude #Respect

Remembering 9/11 on Patriot Day: A Personal Reflection on Unity and Resilience Today, on Patriot Day, we mark 23 years since the September 11th attacks. I still vividly remember being in 9th grade when my entire class was suddenly evacuated without explanation. School buses were waiting, and we were sent home. When I arrived, my parents were in front of the TV, watching as billowing clouds of smoke rose from the Twin Towers in New York City. At the time, I didn’t fully understand the magnitude of what was happening, but I knew America was in trouble. We were evacuated because we were near a military base, and with Washington D.C. just an hour away—another target had been hit. In 2018, I was in New York City on September 11th, and I remember walking through Chinatown, where fireworks were set off in honor of the victims. It startled me, but it was a reminder of the profound loss and the resilience of those who survived and those who risked their lives. Now, on September 11th, 2024, our country feels more divided than ever, especially after the recent presidential debates. There’s so much vitriol from both sides of the political aisle. But today, on Patriot Day, it's crucial to remember that unity is more powerful than clinging to extremes. We must continue honoring those who sacrificed on 9/11 and the countless heroes who continue to serve. Living in Nevada, I’ve come to appreciate the independent spirit of Nevadans. We don’t shy away from recognizing how fortunate we are to be in America, despite its flaws. Today, let’s reflect on how, as a country, we can come together again—just as we did after 9/11. Let’s take this day to remember, unite, and work toward a future where unity is our greatest strength. #NeverForget #PatriotDay #September11 #Unity #Resilience #America

Regardless of how we feel right now, I know that the rights and freedoms we have were hard won. Thank you to our heroes! ❤️🤍💙 "Courage is more exhilarating than fear and in the long run it is easier. We do not have to become heroes overnight.
