TSFRS would like to wish everyone a happy and safe Memorial Day Holiday.

However, we also want to remember the reason for the holiday. Many people only see the day as the unofficial start of summer---time for vacations, cookouts, parades, and all sorts of fun activities. Please bear in mind that Memorial Day is actually a time for honoring those who served our country during conflict and paid the ultimate price. It started after the Civil War and has continued to this day, paying homage to those who marched away from home but never returned.

As you celebrate the holiday, please also celebrate the courage, honor and sacrifice on the part of the fallen and also those they left behind.

Don't forget to remember.
