Today we remember the brave men and women who never made it home.

Not for recognition.
Not for praise.
But because freedom has always carried a cost.

May we never forget the sacrifice behind the flag, the empty seats at family tables, and the heroes whose names live on in the hearts of those who loved them.

This Memorial Day, we honor them with gratitude, humility, and remembrance.

Thank you to Troop 34 Boy/Girl Scouts for dedicating their weekend to serving our community. They have spent their time working our gates, welcoming families, and tonight held a beautiful American Flag Retirement Ceremony here at the cemetery. Watching the respect and care these young men/women showed for our nation’s flag was something truly special.

As Memorial Day weekend continues, we want to take a moment to recognize some truly special people who helped make this weekend so meaningful here at the cemetery. 🇺🇸

First, thank you to Troop 34 Boy/Girl Scouts for dedicating their weekend to serving our community. They have spent their time working our gates, welcoming families, and tonight held a beautiful American Flag Retirement Ceremony here at the cemetery. Watching the respect and care these young men/women showed for our nation’s flag was something truly special.

We also want to thank the incredible Joplin community, along with the many travelers who visited throughout the weekend. Over a thousand vehicles have driven through our cemetery grounds. Families filled out surveys, placed flowers and decorations, and most importantly honored their heroes with American flags and remembrance.

Memorial Day weekend is about so much more than a long weekend.
It is about love.
Honor.
Sacrifice.
Tradition.
And remembering those who came before us.

Seeing so many people continue that tradition this weekend has been incredibly moving for all of us. ❤️
