We wish you and your family a restful Memorial Day weekend. As we know, Memorial Day is one of the most solemn days of the year for the military community. It is a time to recognize the more than 1.1 million Americans who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation and the preservation of our liberties.

To help mark this important day, please remember the National Moment of Remembrance and pause for one minute at 3pm on Monday (your local time) to remember those who have died in military service to our country.
