Today, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women of our Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Their courage, selflessness, and unwavering dedication to protecting our freedoms will never be forgotten.

On this Memorial Day, the City of Troy proudly stands in gratitude for our fallen heroes and their families. We encourage all residents to take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of this day and the tremendous sacrifices made for our country.

May we always remember that freedom is never free! 🇺🇸

My Memorial Day morning began at the C.R.A.B. Garrison Club #1954 in Troy, where I had the opportunity to perform our National Anthem during their Memorial Day ceremonies. I’ve performed our National Anthem publicly many times over the years, but there’s something different about standing in a room surrounded by the men and women who served this nation. On a day meant to remember those who never made it home, the words carry a little more weight and the moment means a little more.

Today, as I’ve done all weekend, I’ll spend the day traveling throughout Rensselaer County attending Memorial Day ceremonies and parades, taking time to honor the brave men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our nation and our freedoms. It’s a responsibility I take seriously, and honestly, I wouldn’t want to spend the day any other way.

As we gather with family and friends this Memorial Day, let us never forget the true meaning behind the day and those who made it possible. 🇺🇸
