Memorial Day serves as an opportunity to remember the sacrifices of more than one million Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen who gave their lives to secure our freedoms. For nearly seven decades, Airmen have selflessly engaged in conflicts around the globe, providing unrivaled Airpower capabilities and risking their lives. More than 4,300 Airmen have paid the ultimate sacrifice in defense of the freedoms we enjoy while supporting military operations and armed conflicts from the Korean War until today. We affirm our commitment to military family survivors, as well as to our wounded warriors and their families. Thank you for all your sacrifices!
