Dear 4-H Families:
While this weekend marks the unofficial start of summer, let us also make space to reflect on the sacrifices made by our brave men and women in uniform. Memorial Day is a time to honor those who gave their lives for our freedom. It is also a day we come together to offer our support, love, and gratitude to those who carry the weight of their loved ones' absence. Let us stand with them, remembering their sacrifice and holding their memories close.
