On this Memorial Day weekend, let us keep the focus on remembering and honoring those who have given their lives for our country while serving in the military. So whether you place flowers at a grave site, visit the WWII Memorial Plaza in the Heights or observe a moment of silence, we can all appreciate and value the freedoms that we hold dear.
