Today, we pause to honor the brave men and women who have served our country with courage, dedication, and sacrifice. Their commitment to protecting our freedoms is a debt we can never fully repay but one we carry in our hearts every day.

We are especially grateful for the opportunity to serve our veteran families and ensure that each hero receives the respectful farewell they deserve.

To all veterans, past, present, and future, thank you for your service, your strength, and your love of country.

“A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.” – Joseph Campbell
