On this Memorial Day, while enjoying the company of friends and family, let’s not forget the fallen men and women in the Armed Forces who have made the celebration of this day possible. They are not just names without faces. They are our mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles, cousins and friends who have sacrificed themselves for our country, so that we may be free to live our lives the way we choose in the greatest country in the world. NATE salutes these fallen heroes and wishes everyone a safe and happy Memorial Day. The NATE office will be closed on Monday, May, 27 in observance of Memorial Day and will reopen at 8:00 a.m. CDT on Tuesday, May 28. #memorialday #usa #militaryofnate #natesafety
