00:00.440 --> 00:03.960
heroes of the 9 26 weeks Memorial Day

00:03.960 --> 00:05.960
is a day set aside for Americans to

00:05.960 --> 00:08.071
honor and remember those who perished

00:08.071 --> 00:09.904
while serving our country . Many

00:09.904 --> 00:11.793
Americans observe Memorial Day by

00:11.793 --> 00:13.738
visiting cemeteries or memorials ,

00:13.738 --> 00:15.349
holding family gatherings or

00:15.349 --> 00:17.830
participating in parades . Our Memorial

00:17.830 --> 00:19.330
Day traditions will change

00:19.330 --> 00:21.163
significantly this weekend as we

00:21.163 --> 00:23.386
continue to mitigate the spread of Cove

00:23.386 --> 00:25.330
in 19 . But let us ensure we honor

00:25.330 --> 00:27.219
those proud patriots who made the

00:27.219 --> 00:29.052
ultimate sacrifice in defense of

00:29.052 --> 00:30.886
America's liberty . In these new

00:30.886 --> 00:33.108
circumstances , we should truly reflect

00:33.108 --> 00:32.910
upon the meaning of Memorial Day .

00:33.540 --> 00:35.762
Remember those who lost their lives and

00:35.762 --> 00:37.707
could not return home to enjoy the

00:37.707 --> 00:39.651
freedom ? Mayor Lieutenant General

00:39.651 --> 00:41.873
Richard Scobie has asked us to remember

00:41.873 --> 00:43.984
those working the front lines against

00:43.984 --> 00:45.762
Cove in 19 . Remember our first

00:45.762 --> 00:47.762
responders ? Healthcare workers and

00:47.762 --> 00:47.470
essential workers in your fellow

00:47.470 --> 00:49.400
reservists were in harm's way ,

00:49.400 --> 00:52.250
fighting an unseen enemy that we face

00:52.250 --> 00:54.440
challenging times . We will persevere

00:54.440 --> 00:56.773
and be strong for our nation's citizens .

00:56.890 --> 00:59.400
