Memorial Day is designated each year for remembrance and reflection of those who have given their lives in the service of our country. These brave men and women of our armed services have paid the ultimate sacrifice to defend our nation. We owe a significant debt to both those who have fallen and those who continue to fight for the freedom.
In the spirit of Memorial Day, I hope that you will join me for the eighth annual Blue Star Salute to honor our military. I am honored to be the keynote speaker for the event, which will be held at the American Village in Montevallo. The 151st Army Band will perform at the event.
