The Weekly Update #4

Dear Falcon Families:

On this Memorial Weekend, let's take time to honor those individuals who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country so that we have the freedom we can enjoy. To our Falcon families who have lost loved ones as members of the armed forces, may you remember them fondly and with pride for having served our country in the most honorable way. Happy Memorial Day.

"Life becomes more meaningful when you realize the simple fact that you’ll never get the same moment twice." ~ Anonymous~
