AFA’s Memorial Day Message

On Memorial Day, we pause to remember the many who sacrificed life itself for this great nation and the freedoms we all enjoy. For over 230 years, there have always been patriots who answered the country’s call and gave their lives. Because of their dedication, millions of people worldwide today have the benefits of freedom. Their lives and heroic deaths are our heritage.

We have a special thought today for those among us with family members, loved ones, neighbors and friends who have given the ultimate sacrifice. We can never repay or measure what they gave for all of us. We can only remember their gift to us, and live our lives with the same devotion to country and liberty.
