AFA Remembers Fallen Patriots on Memorial Day

Arlington, VA – The Air Force Association (AFA) today released the following statement in honor of Memorial Day:

On this Memorial Day, we take time to remember the patriots who have sacrificed life itself in the cause of freedom. Since our nation’s birth, there have always been patriots who answered the country’s call and gave their lives. Because of their dedication and sacrifice, millions of people across the world experience the great benefits of living in freedom. Today, we honor the lives of these heroes.

Our thoughts and prayers are with those among us who have lost a family member or friend in the nation’s service. As a nation, we cannot repay that sacrifice. We can remember these precious lives, and strive to devote ourselves to country and liberty.
