Happy Memorial Day first off. Today we honor those who wear the characteristics of bravery and courage with them everyday they go to work. It’s only fitting to pay our respects to them, as they honor us civilians daily through their dedication to service and by upholding our freedom. Staff Seargent Giunta’s story is a touching one.

We’d also like to honor and remember our cousin Carlos Lozada on this day, a fellow recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Thank you to all the men and women who make up our United States armed forces – we truly owe you a debt of gratitude.
