Memorial Day – Honoring Our Heroes

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice has secured the freedoms we enjoy every day, and for that, we are forever grateful.

As we gather with friends and family, let’s also take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of this day and pay tribute to the heroes who never made it home. May we never forget their courage and sacrifice.

The City of Ruston remembers and honors our fallen heroes.
