Memorial Day carries weight in our part of the country. The Blue Ridge has long sent its sons and daughters into uniform, and we don't forget the ones who didn't come home.

Today we remember the Americans who gave their lives in service to this nation. To the Gold Star families across the Southeast, and to the veterans serving their communities now in EMS and fire — we remember with you.
