Memorial Day Weekend in Photos (So Far)

Happenings

No need for a search party! I'm still in existence. A lot has been going on with work. In May alone the following has occurred:

-Dedication ceremony of the new Arkansas State Veterans Cemetery at Birdeye.

-Following some budget and other issues, our agency director resigned. With this came a media firestorm.

-A new director was appointed.

-Memorial Day planning.

With all the stress and headaches that have come with event planning and the crisis, I would not want to be anywhere else. As we've been preparing for Memorial Day, I have been reminded of what is important: my job allows me to serve veterans and their families. Seeing veterans who've made sacrifices for this country and seeing the graves of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice puts everything into perspective. So this weekend, regardless of where you are, please remember why we celebrate Memorial Day. Thank a veteran or service member and even try to attend a Memorial Day ceremony or visit a veterans cemetery.
