Memorial Day Ceremony, 2023

President John Adams wrote that, "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people; it is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

But how can the moral stature of a nation be measured? How can we know whether we are worthy inheritors of the liberties passed down to us?

All around the world, the humble graves that mark the final resting places of our best citizens - the brave American servicemen who gave their lives that we would be free - give testimony of the measure of our nation.

This Memorial Day, please remember that we enjoy peace with our family and friends only because of the brave patriots who did not come home to theirs.

We also give special thanks to Woodmen Life Chapter 46, Pastor Steve Bailey, and State Guard Cpt. John Latham for hosting the 2023 Ellis County Memorial Day wreath-laying ceremony.
