As this long weekend concludes…

Remember there are families out there who set a place at the table that never gets filled. Moms, dads, children, and partners who gave everything so the rest of us could have days exactly like this one.

As a department built on the same promise of service and sacrifice, we feel the weight of that deeply. We understand, in our own way, what it means to put on a uniform and choose something greater than yourself.

They are not forgotten.
