All Memorial Days are a stark reminder of a simple truth: Freedom is not FREE. It was bought and paid for by generations of Americans who stepped up to defend our way of life, many of whom never made it home.
But defending freedom isn't just done on the battlefield; it is done at the ballot box. The heroes we honor today sacrificed their futures so that we could live in a fair, just, and democratic society. They did not die to hand our country over to corporate conglomerates and profit-driven elites. When we allow a "Corporatocracy" to dictate our nation's direction, we diminish the very freedom our veterans died to preserve. Pleaset pledge to honor the memory, of those who gave the ultimate price, by voting to protect our Democracy first, last, and always.
