As the United States celebrates its 250th birthday in 2026, it is especially meaningful to take time this Memorial Day to honor the men and women of our nation’s military who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom. Join us on Monday, May 25, at 10 a.m. for our annual Memorial Day Remembrance Ceremony.
Our keynote speaker will be Ryan Manion, CEO of the Travis Manion Foundation. Ryan’s brother Travis, a U.S. Marine Corps 1st Lieutenant, gave his life in 2007, during his second deployment to Iraq. While on patrol searching for a suspected insurgent house in Fallujah, Travis, his fellow Marines, and Iraqi Army counterparts were ambushed. Travis led a counterattack, drawing fire away from his wounded comrades and allowing every other member of his patrol to survive. For his actions, he was awarded the Silver Star and Bronze Star with Valor.
The Travis Manion Foundation works to unite communities to strengthen our nation by empowering Veterans and families of fallen heroes to develop character in future generations.
