Our Board of County Commissioners passed a proclamation this week acknowledging the importance of Memorial Day. Memorial Day isn’t about sales or BBQs - it’s about sacrifice. We remember the warriors who gave their lives for this country and honor the families, spouses, and survivors who carry that weight daily. Their courage shaped our freedoms, and we must carry that legacy forward. If you want to join in remembering, there’s a Memorial Day service at Pikes Peak National Cemetery. Details here: https://www.va.gov/eastern-colorado-health-care/events/79186/ Our administrative and elected administrative offices and affiliated agencies will be closed Monday, May 26, 2025, in observance of Memorial Day. Let’s not just remember the sacrifice—let’s live like it meant something. (fb)
