Right here in our city, at Dover Air Force Base, America’s fallen heroes make their final journey home — a solemn reminder of the true cost of freedom and the sacrifice carried by so many families. Today, we remember the fallen, honor their families, and give thanks to all who have served.

As Memorial Day weekend — often considered the unofficial start of summer — begins, the Dover Police Department asks everyone to be responsible during gatherings.

While many will gather with family and friends, we also pause to remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation.

If your plans include alcohol, please make arrangements for a sober ride home. One poor decision can have lifelong consequences.

Drive sober. Arrive safely.
