At our Rotary meeting on Friday we were reminded by our speaker, Brian Combs, past commander at Tahoma National Cemetery, of what Memorial Day means. He shared information and statistics that drove home the ultimate sacrifice that hundreds of thousands have made for all of us. I know that for me it was important to be reminded of this time for giving thanks is more than just a three day holiday.
It also reminds me once again of the tradition that has been established at our Junior High of placing flags on all the graves at the cemetery. Thanks to Todd and Cary for starting this project and to all the staff for supporting and continuing the tradition. A new project, Where Heroes Rest, a photo journal and film of the history of the Tahoma National Cemetery is also being planned.
I want to thank all those former and current men and women for their service to our country. We owe you much for the sacrifices that you have made to preserve our freedoms and quality of life.
THANK YOU!
