On Memorial Day, we honor our nation's fallen soldiers—including 5,000 DC residents who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Their service is a reminder that DC residents fight and die for this nation, yet still lack full representation in the democracy they defend.
We recognize our fallen soldiers today, and we continue to push for a more perfect democracy.
ALT Sun is shining on the DC flag and the American flag both waving against the blue sky.
