"Memorial Day is a time for reflection and reverence, a moment to honor the heroes who have given so much for our freedom," said Congressman Van Drew. "We must take time to reflect on the freedoms we enjoy and the tremendous costs at which they were secured. As we pay tribute to those who have fallen, we must also reaffirm our duty to support and uplift those who continue to carry the legacy of service by ensuring that they and their families have all the tools they need to thrive. I wish everyone a safe and respectful Memorial Day."
