Today is not a day to thank those of us who served. Memorial Day is a day of remembrance — a day to honor our brothers and sisters who paid the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation, and those who have gone before us whose courage, service, and devotion helped preserve the freedoms we enjoy today.

We remember the empty chairs at family tables, the names etched in stone, and the legacies carried forward by loved ones and future generations.

May we never forget their sacrifice, and may we continue to live in a way that honors their memory.

🇺🇸 Remember and Honor 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 Please note: Our office will be closed today as our staff performs our annual “Flags In” duty at All Souls Cemetery in Chardon.

This meaningful tradition honors the men and women who served our country by placing flags on the graves of our veterans in preparation for Memorial Day. We are proud to continue this solemn act of remembrance and respect for those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Thank you for your understanding and support as we serve those who served. 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 Geauga County Military Signing Day 🇺🇸

In partnership with the Geauga Board of County Commissioners, we are honored to recognize Geauga County seniors who have chosen a path of service, commitment, and dedication through acceptance into military academies, ROTC programs, or enlistment into the United States Armed Forces.

These young men and women represent the very best of our community, answering the call to serve something greater than themselves. Their willingness to serve reflects courage, character, leadership, and patriotism.

We would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to the families who have supported and guided these students. Thank you for instilling the values of integrity, sacrifice, and service in these future service members.
