While Memorial Day Weekend is the unofficial start of summer, please find a moment over the next few days to remember the selfless sacrifice and bravery exhibited by so many in service to our nation.

For generations, American men and women have lost their lives on foreign and domestic battlefields to preserve the rights and freedoms that we enjoy today. Memorial Day Weekend is a reminder to give them a nation and a citizenry that is worthy of their sacrifice.

I will reflect on this true meaning at ceremonies and parades in Mount Laurel, Delanco, and Bordentown Twp this weekend. I hope you have a happy and safe Memorial Day Weekend!
