MemorialView
By Chris Murphy
In this time of elevated global conflict, please take a moment to remember and celebrate those that gave it all to protect the USA. Our service people nobly serve our county to protect our freedom and most important, our fragile democracy. Take time to remember and even visit one of our local cemeteries. The flag lined lanes will amaze and help remember how much these service people of all kind have done for our country for nearly 250 years.
