As we pause this Memorial Day to honor service members who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the protection of our freedoms, we remember that every generation of this great country has borne heroes who have answered the call to defend her. Too many have given their lives in the process.
Annie and I pray every night for the hundreds of Delawareans currently still serving in harm’s way.
As we reflect on those who have sacrificed so much, today I will participate in the Wilmington Memorial Day Parade and the Delaware Commission of Veterans Affairs Memorial Day Service at Memorial Bridge Plaza in New Castle.
Both of these events are open to the public. The Memorial Day Bridge event starts at 10:30 am and the parade kickoff is at 6:00 pm at Woodlawn & Delaware Avenue.
