Commemorating Memorial Day
Centreville Patch honors those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Today Centreville Patch, along with the rest of the nation, honors those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. As a reminder, at 3 p.m. today there will be a —one minute of silence to remember these men and women. It's well worth taking a minute out of the day, whether at a family BBQ, neighborhood party or in your own home, to honor these men and women.

A good article—and a good reminder that the toll of two ongoing wars continues every day of the year.
