He encouraged kindness and patience in how we treat one another and helped shape how we might consider the unique and often unspoken personal experiences and challenges of our friends, families, colleagues, fellow citizens, and the Veterans and families we serve — and to whom we are devoted.

As we celebrate our nation’s independence later this week, I'm reminded once again of the riveting words of former President Ronald Reagan, "Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation." I add my own voice of thankfulness and gratitude to those who fought defending our freedom and this great nation of opportunity, promise and hope.

Next Monday, May 25, 2020, is Memorial Day, a day when we pause to remember our fallen heroes: the men and women who answered the call of freedom and paid the ultimate sacrifice. This year, restrictions unlike any our country has experienced before that are being necessitated by the Coronavirus pandemic will cause many traditional activities to be postponed or cancelled. Therefore, Memorial Day will likely be celebrated much differently this year than it has been in the past.
