Today, we reflect on and pay tribute to the brave individuals who have given their lives in service to our nation. We also express our gratitude to the Gold Star families who experience Memorial Day every day. We would like to remind our members of FVC's Memorial Wall, available on our website. It was created as a way for members of FVC to be remembered for their work in their communities for the fulfillment of our mission. To honor a departed Farmer Veteran, please consider making a donation by clicking the link below and clicking the button "Remember a Farmer Veteran". There, you can make a donation "in honor of" or "in memory of". You can access the Memorial Wall here: https://lnkd.in/gr7xfJRj #MemorialDay #NeverForget #farmerveteran
