While we are all enjoying our three-day weekend, it's important to take at least a few minutes to reflect on what Memorial Day is all about. Whatever your thoughts on America's political system may be, there's no denying the magnitude of the sacrifice fallen soldiers have made fighting for our Country. To honor this sacrifice, IBEW Local 531 would like you to celebrate this Memorial Day, not only to remember those who have fallen, but also to reflect on the cause for which they gave their lives. Those we honor on Memorial Day have sacrificed it all so that we can enjoy the safety and freedom we so often take for granted — and one of the greatest ways to pay our respects to the fallen is to appreciate these gifts. So when you and your friends are talking politics and religion at your Memorial Day barbecue, remember the many men and women who fought to protect this freedom..
