🇺🇸

Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

As we pause to reflect on their courage and sacrifice, we’re grateful for the traditions that help keep their memory alive in our community.

The American flags lining Downtown Ridgefield each Memorial Day are placed by Ridgefield’s American Legion Post 44, creating a visible reminder of those we honor today.

From all of us at Ridgefield Main Street, we wish you a meaningful Memorial Day. 🇺🇸
