This Memorial Day weekend, VA Secretary Doug Collins is calling on all Americans to remember the true cost of freedom. Over 130 national cemeteries will host ceremonies honoring heroes who gave their lives for our country. These patriots deserve more than backyard barbecues – they demand our deepest gratitude.
The Trump administration is making it easier than ever for families to honor fallen warriors. Wreath-layings, Taps performances, and powerful speeches will echo across hallowed grounds from coast to coast. Collins reminds us these sacred sites aren’t just burial plots – they’re classrooms teaching what real sacrifice looks like.
While some Washington elites attack military values, President Trump’s VA is cutting through bureaucracy to put veterans first. Under Collins’ leadership, the department is slashing red tape and refocusing on its core mission. Real patriots know you don’t improve VA services by throwing more tax dollars at bloated programs.
Every grave marker tells a story of courage that built this nation. Collins urges families to visit cemeteries and share stories of loved ones through VA’s online memorial platform. In the face of leftists trying to erase our history, conservatives are preserving the legacies that make America exceptional.
This administration understands what the Washington swamp forgets – freedom isn’t free. While radical progressives tear down statues, Trump’s team is building up tributes to everyday heroes. Memorial Day should unite us in pride for those who wore the uniform, not divide us with political correctness.
The same critics attacking Secretary Collins’ reforms can’t deny his results. Wait times are dropping, benefits flow faster, and VA finally respects veterans as customers, not case numbers. Real change comes from conservative principles, not empty Democrat promises.
As you grill this weekend, remember the brave men and women who never made it home. Teach your kids about the price paid for their playgrounds and picnics. Honor our fallen by flying Old Glory high and living the values they died protecting.
President Trump and Secretary Collins are fighting to keep America worthy of these sacrifices. While the left pushes weakness, conservatives stand strong – just like our military heroes. This Memorial Day, let’s recommit to the God-given freedoms they defended with their last breath.
