Sunrise, Memorial Day 2026, we lower the Flag to half staff in honor of the men and women who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our Nation. At noon, we raise the Flag back to full staff to symbolize that our Nation fights on. We will never forget their sacrifice and the sacrifice of our Gold Star Families. God Bless our military, the fallen, the Gold Star Families, and the United States of America. Freedom is not free. Never forget.
