In Honor of Our Fallen Soldiers – Memorial Day 2020
Dear Friends,
Heroes come in many forms. Today, we honor those who gave the last full measure of devotion in the name of freedom.
Memorial Day is a uniquely American holiday, and its observance deserves every ounce of pomp and circumstance we can offer.
This year, in the wake of a new challenge before this great nation, our ceremonies, parades, and public gatherings have taken a new form. However, that should not detract from the significance of this national holiday, nor what it means to our men and women in uniform.
We will continue to revere, commemorate, and celebrate the lives of our fallen soldiers, and, together, in unison, as one people, observe this solemn, yet hopeful occasion as one nation united in our common belief in the personal freedom and liberty of all citizens.
The values for which these heroes sacrificed everything – freedom, security, and the promise of a brighter future – are the same values that form the common bond between all American, and this year, these values carry even great meaning to us all.
Wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful Memorial Day.
State Rep. Brian Lanoue
45th General Assembly District
Griswold, Lisbon, Plainfield, Sterling, Voluntown
