Honoring all who paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to our Nation. 🇺🇸

Today, we remember the visionary, civil rights leader, and trailblazer, Martin Luther King Jr, and we reflect on the selfless achievements he accomplished throughout his lifetime in an effort to bring equity amongst all human beings. Today is also a reminder that our work is far from done as we still continue to join the fight against racial discrimination.

May this day remind us all of the power that one person with determination to see change can hold, and may it inspire us to raise our voice against injustice until we see a day where we can all live in harmony under the presence of God.
