Memorial Day is a day with one purpose. To remember.

General John A. Logan issued the proclamation establishing Decoration Day in 1868, and after World War I it was expanded from honoring Civil War casualties to honoring the American military fallen from every conflict. In 1971, Congress officially declared it a federal holiday observed on the last Monday in May. A tradition that began with flowers on graves is now observed by more than 330 million Americans each year.

Our personnel are out across the community today maintaining security so that every cemetery visit, every memorial service, and every family gathering can happen without incident. They show up on days like this because that is what this profession asks of them.

Comment below with the name of a fallen service member you are honoring today.

Peace Officer Memorial Day is observed today across the country. Flags fly at half-staff, and they should.

President Kennedy signed the law establishing this observance in 1962. Since then, more than 22,000 names have been added to the National Law Enforcement Memorial in Washington D.C., representing every line of duty death in American history. Each name belongs to someone who left behind a family that had to keep going without them.

The risk these professionals accept is real. The support we provide their families needs to be real too.

Today is Children of Fallen Patriots Day, and it is one of the more sobering dates on the calendar.

May 13 was chosen for this observance because it marks the day Arlington National Cemetery was established in 1864. That connection is intentional. The Children of Fallen Patriots Foundation estimates that approximately 25,000 children have lost a parent in the line of military duty over the last 35 years. Without support, only 20 percent of those children complete college. With the foundation's assistance, that rate rises to 91 percent.

These are children who carried a loss most people their age could not begin to understand. Many members of this association are veterans. We do not take this day lightly.

Share this post to bring visibility to the children and families still carrying the cost of military service.

This week is National Police Week, and it carries a weight that words do not always do justice to.

National Police Week 2026 runs from May 11 through May 17, with memorial ceremonies, honor guard tributes, and survivor events taking place across Washington D.C. This year marks the 38th Annual Candlelight Vigil, where the names of every law enforcement professional killed in the line of duty in the past year are read aloud, one by one, in front of the families and colleagues they left behind.

For our association, this week is personal.

The members we represent know what it takes to put on the uniform every day. They know the names of the ones who did not come home. They carry that with them on every shift, and they show up anyway, because that is the job.

Share this post so every name remembered this week reaches one more person.

Today is Mother's Day, and we want to take a moment to actually mean it.

Anna Jarvis, who campaigned for the holiday's creation, later spent years fighting to keep it from becoming too commercialized. By the 1920s she was publicly critical of the greeting card industry and even called for the holiday to be removed from the national calendar. She believed it was meant to be a personal, sincere expression, not a commercial event. It is a reminder that the original intent was simple: stop and recognize the people who give more than they are given credit for.

Our members working shifts today are serving this community while missing time with their own families. That sacrifice is worth acknowledging today just as much as everything else.

Today is Military Spouse Appreciation Day, and it is one that deserves a lot more than a social media post.

Military spouses hold things together in ways that rarely get acknowledged. President Ronald Reagan established this observance in 1984 through Proclamation 5184, making it an official national recognition of the sacrifices made by the spouses of military personnel. At the time of signing, Reagan called military spouses "the unsung heroes of the armed forces."

Several members of this association serve in the reserve components, and the spouses supporting them here at home are part of what makes that dual service possible. They do not wear a uniform, but they serve just the same.

Share this post to make sure every military spouse in your network feels recognized today.

On May 5, 2026 Mayor Scott Sedgley and Napa City Council members proclaimed May 15, 2026 as Peace Officer’s Memorial Day and May 11-16, 2026 as National Police Memorial Week in the City of Napa. National Peace Officers Memorial Day was created to recognize the bravery and sacrifice of law enforcement officers who have lost their lives while serving their communities. The proclamation was accepted on behalf of the Napa Police Officers’ Association and the Napa Police Department by NPOA President Kyle Upchurch and Napa Police Chief Fabio Rodriguez.

We are grateful for the council’s recognition of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and for the continued support from our community members. The National Police Memorial Week serves as a solemn reminder of the courage, dedication, and service that define our profession.

Cinco de Mayo is observed today, and our members are on duty making sure the community can celebrate safely.

The holiday commemorates the Mexican army's victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. What most people do not know is that the French at the time were considered one of the most powerful military forces in the world. The victory was a major upset that changed the course of the conflict. Today it is one of the most widely celebrated cultural observances in the United States.

We are proud to serve a community as diverse and vibrant as this one.

Drop a comment below and tell us how you are celebrating today.
