Land of the Free, Because of the Brave- Apollo Elementary would like to remember and honor the heroes who gave their lives in service to our country. As we enjoy time with family and friends, we pause to reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day and express gratitude for those who gave so much for our freedom.
