Memorial Day is a day that touches every one of us. I hope everyone took the time to remember our fallen soldiers over the Memorial Day weekend. This holiday is one of the most important our nation celebrates because it honors our nation's heroes. While it is always great to spend time with family and friends to unofficially kick off summer, we must not forget those whose service protected these freedoms.
My family was able to spend some quality time together over the holiday. We paused to visit cemeteries and to decorate the graves of our deceased relatives, many who fought for our nation. While Memorial Day is a somber time of remembrance, happy memories were shared, along with thoughts of our loved ones who have passed away.
At times, it seems our nation is torn beyond repair, but this holiday brings us together as one nation. We each have an individual story, but beyond that we share a history. Some of you fought in wars to protect our nation and our freedoms. Some of you have lost loved ones in a war or conflict. Some of you are serving our nation now and some of you have family or friends currently serving. Our thanks go out to each of you for your sacrifices.
On behalf of the Missouri House of Representatives, I would like to extend our sincere appreciate to those who died serving our nation.
If you have problems, questions or wish to express concern over an issue, please do not hesitate to contact me or my Legislator Assistant, Jonathan, at my Capitol office either by phone 573-751-9801 or by e-mail at Marilyn{dot}Ruestman{at}house{dot}mo{dot}gov.
