Memorial Day: A Tribute to America’s Fallen Heroes
"Memorial Day is a time to honor and remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice is woven into the story of America as we near 250 years as a nation.
Veterans Dan Nevins and Tonya Oxendine are joined by Gold Star Mother Mary Tallouzi, who lost her son in combat. Together, they open up about grief, memory, and what it means to carry the weight of loss long after service ends.
Dan and Tonya reflect on losing battle buddies who were more than fellow service members; they were family. Mary shares the unimaginable experience of losing her son and how she continues to keep his memory alive.
Their stories are different, but they are connected by a shared truth: the sacrifice of the fallen does not end on the battlefield. It continues in the lives of those who loved them, served beside them, and remember them every day.
This conversation is a reminder that Memorial Day is not simply about reflection; it is about honoring people, families, and sacrifice.
We remember the fallen. We honor their legacy. And we carry their stories forward.' from the video introduction
