Recently we witnessed the return of the 384th Military Police Unit to our city. It was a joyous occasion for those involved. Fort Wayne, Allen County and many areas around us have seen the deployment of a large number of friends, neighbors and relatives over the past few months. This Memorial Day weekend gives us the opportunity to share our support, thanks and appreciation to those who serve our country in the U.S. military.
As we reflect on the importance of this holiday, let’s remember our troops, veterans and retired military members who have given so much to keep us free. Some have given the ultimate sacrifice so that we can enjoy our outdoor activities and our family gatherings.
Ten years ago an organization started by Alice Wax fought to have the month of May declared National Military Appreciation Month.
