This Memorial Day, we pause across the great State of Iowa to remember the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and our communities.

From the rolling hills and small towns to the cities and county roads that connect us all, freedom has never been free. Today we honor the brave men and women of our Armed Forces who gave their lives protecting our country.

Their sacrifice is woven into the fabric of our nation and the heart of every community they served. We will never forget those who answered the call, stood the line, and gave everything for others.

As families gather this weekend under the red, white, and blue, may we all take a moment to reflect on the courage, service, and sacrifice that make this country strong.

To our fallen heroes.. your watch has ended, but your legacy lives on forever. 🇺🇸💙
