Alex Ward - Barrow County Commissioner

Memorial Day is not just another long weekend.

It’s a day set aside to remember the men and women who never made it home. The people who gave their lives serving this country, leaving behind families, friends, and futures that should have been theirs.

The freedom we enjoy every day came at a real cost for many American families. Memorial Day is a reminder that for some, the sacrifice never ended. As we spend time with family and friends today, I hope we also take a moment to reflect on the reason this day exists and honor those who gave everything for our country.

May we never forget them.

Couldn’t ask for a better night for spring football. Proud to be out supporting our Apalachee Wildcats and excited for the season ahead. 🏈
