Happy 250th America!! 🇺🇸 It doesn’t get more American than hotdogs, fireworks, family and friends.

For the past 10 years, my dad, has quietly stood on the corner of Wendover and Lanada on Memorial Day with a sign that read, “It’s Not Free.” Not for recognition. Not for applause. But to honor the 1.4 million Americans who gave their lives for our freedom.

What started as one quiet act of remembrance has touched millions across the country and become a reminder that Memorial Day is more than a long weekend. It is a day of remembrance, gratitude, sacrifice, and honor.

This year marked his final year standing. For a decade, he faithfully showed up to remind people that freedom has a cost and that those who paid the ultimate sacrifice should never be forgotten. What a legacy of honor, humility, and unwavering respect for our fallen heroes.

Today we remember them. We honor them. And to every Gold Star family carrying the weight of loss today, we stand with you.

🇺🇸Freedom isn’t free.
