To the Editor:

Memorial Day seems more significant this year because so many have sacrificed their lives for our freedoms. The freedom of voting may be the most important one.

Just remember when you vote this year not to take away another’s freedom. The men in my family and extended family have been and are men of service. They have served in the military, law enforcement and fire department, all making daily sacrifices to help and protect humanity, people they know and complete strangers.
