🇺🇸 On this solemn Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women of our armed forces who paid the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedom.

Their courage, selflessness, and unwavering commitment to our nation did not come with a return ticket home. They gave everything so that we could live in liberty, security, and opportunity. From the battlefields of the past to the conflicts of today, their legacy lives on in every flag that flies, every family that gathers, and every generation that inherits the blessings of their service.

In Connecticut’s Quiet Corner and across our great state, we feel deep gratitude for the fallen heroes who came from our neighborhoods, our schools, and our communities. We will never forget them. We will teach our children their stories. And we will strive every day to be worthy of their sacrifice.

To the Gold Star families who carry the heaviest burden: know that you are not alone. Your loved ones’ service and memory are etched forever in the heart of this nation.

May God bless our fallen heroes, comfort their families, and continue to bless the United States of America.

With profound respect and gratitude,

State Representative Chris Stewart
R-51 (Killingly, Putnam, Thompson)
