This year Memorial Day weekend will look different for most of us following social-distancing recommendations and with restrictions and limitations remaining in place in public places (beaches, parks) as a result of COVID-19. Yet our American spirit and perseverance always prevail -- particularly in the face of a crisis. We see this in our first responders, nurses, doctors and the entire medical community who have tirelessly battled the pandemic to take care of the ill and comfort family members. We see it in other essential workers delivering packages and food. And we see it in everyday Americans who are making the best of a difficult time, and stepping up and supporting those in need.
We will get through this challenging time all together with strength.
