Remembering and Honoring Our Heroes: A Memorial Day Tribute

Posted May 26, 2023
Dear Friends and Neighbors,

As the Mayor of our beloved community, I pay homage to the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our great nation. Memorial Day is not merely a day off from work or a time for barbecues and gatherings. It is a sacred occasion calling upon us to reflect, remember, and honor those who selflessly gave their lives, protecting our ideals. Let us join together as a community to pay tribute to our fallen heroes and express our gratitude for their unwavering dedication.

A Legacy of Sacrifice:

In Tuxedo Park, we are fortunate to live in a close-knit community that values tradition, honor, and patriotism. As we gather with our friends and family on Memorial Day, let us not forget the countless heroes who fought to preserve the freedoms we often take for granted. Throughout history, many brave soldiers from our village, town, and Orange County have answered the call to duty, leaving behind loved ones and the comforts of home to defend our nation's ideals.

Educating Future Generations:

As we gather to remember our fallen heroes, let us also take the time to educate the next generation about the sacrifices made for our freedom. Please encourage your children to attend the Memorial Day Parade in Town on Monday, participate in flag ceremonies, and learn about the history of our nation's conflicts. By passing down the stories and lessons of our fallen heroes, we ensure that their legacies are never forgotten.

As the Mayor of Tuxedo Park, I am immensely proud of our community's unwavering commitment to honoring our fallen heroes. Let us unite in gratitude and remembrance as we pay tribute to those who have given their lives to protect our cherished freedoms. May we never forget their sacrifices, and may their memory inspire us to live lives worthy of their sacrifice.

I wish you all a solemn and reflective Memorial Day.

With deep respect,

Mayor Mac
Mayor of Tuxedo Park, NY
