poignant is knowing that every

single flag has been donated by

family members of those who

have served and are now resting

here.

“These flags not only represent

the individuals they honor, but

also stand as a testament to the

love and sacrifice by their fami-

lies. May this Avenue of Flags

continue to serve as a powerful

reminder of the heroes we honor

today – their sacrifices and the

strength displayed by their loved

ones will forever be etched in

the fabric of our nation’s his-

tory. Today, we come together to

remember, to honor and to ensure

the legacy of all of our veterans

endure for all the generations to

come. To the veterans and the

United States military, we thank

you for your service. To their

families we honor your sacrifice.

Together we stand in gratitude

and remembrance ensuring that

their memory lives on.”
