🔱 Today, we gather and push ourselves not just to remember, but to honor. 🇺🇸

We speak the names of heroes like Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy, a Navy SEAL who gave his life in the mountains of Afghanistan so that others might live. Surrounded and outnumbered, wounded yet unyielding, he chose to step into the open — exposing himself to enemy fire — to make a final call for help. That courage defined a legacy.

Lieutenant Murphy's sacrifice reminds us that freedom is never free — it is paid for by patriots who believe in something greater than themselves.

On this Memorial Day, let us HONOR ALL those who wore the uniform and gave everything for our country.

May we live each day worthy of their sacrifice. 🙏
