Since our nation's founding, more than 1.3 million American service members have died in war. Memorial Day is the day we honor those who gave their lives in service to this country.

Many veterans ask that we not say "Happy Memorial Day." For those who served, this day can mean revisiting the loss of friends and comrades who never came home. So this weekend, as you spend time with family and friends, take a moment to reflect on those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Check in on the veterans in your life. Offer support if they need it, and space if they want it. If you know a veteran who is struggling, help is available through the 988 Crisis Line.

Honoring the fallen means more than ceremonies once a year. It means supporting healthcare, combating homelessness, protecting veterans and military families, and defending the democratic rights so many Americans died to protect.

It also means demanding that we never send Americans into war unless every other option has been exhausted. Every name on every memorial wall represents a profound sacrifice. Those decisions must never be made casually, politically, or dishonestly.

To truly honor those who gave what Lincoln called "the last full measure of devotion," we must hold our leaders to a standard worthy of that sacrifice.
Our fallen heroes deserve that much. So do the living who may be called to serve next.

Today Delaware mourns the profound loss of a dedicated public servant, Mike Purzycki. In his service to New Castle County and as Mayor of the City of Wilmington, he brought to life a vision of opportunity, highlighting just how much this Tiny Wonder has to offer. His successes reflected the strength of our party and our shared dedication to moving the First State forward. His love for Delaware was unwavering and will remain a lasting part of his legacy as we come together to celebrate his life. We extend our sincerest condolences to his loved ones and all who had the privilege of knowing him during this difficult time.

Happy Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month!

AAPI Month commemorates the arrival of the first Japanese immigrants in America on May 7th, 1843, and the completion of the transcontinental railroad on May 10th, 1869. It is a time to celebrate, honor, and recognize the historical and cultural contributions of people of Asian and Pacific Islander descent to the United States.

American history is full of countless contributions made by Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, including;
The Filipino Farm Labor Union uniting with the National Farm Workers Association to create the United Farm Workers.
The work of civil rights activist Yuri Kochiyama, who, after spending two years at an internment camp in Arkansas during World War II fought for justice not just for Japanese Americans but for all marginalized people.

The sacrifices made by numerous Southeast Asian people and tribes who fought alongside American service members in Southeast Asia and later became American citizens further strengthening the fabric of American society.
The American story is more vibrant because of these movements and contributions, and AAPI Heritage Month is a small expression of appreciation.

Historically, the American school curriculum does not prioritize teaching AAPI history, but in 2024, Senate Majority Leader Bryan Townsend and House Member Sophie Phillips—the only AAPI member of the DE General Assembly—sponsored SB 297, which would require history classes to include AAPI history in their curriculum.

SB 297, or the “Make Us Visible” bill, was unanimously passed in both the House and the Senate, making Delaware just the 7th state in the country to do so.

The United States has a long way to go—until then, Delaware is proud to uphold AAPI history!

With gratitude,
— The Delaware Democratic Party
