Memorial Day invites us as Americans to remember the brave men and women who swore an oath to defend our freedoms and paid the ultimate price. It is also a time to thank veterans and current service members, especially as citizen soldiers from the National Guard’s 81st Brigade prepare to deploy this summer.

For all the brave men and women serving our country, we offer our gratitude and blessings.

For Washington’s service members, we offer our commitment to serve you and your family.

For all the citizens of our state, please help us provide for these brave men and women by being ambassadors for veterans and their families. Let them know they can reach us toll free at 800-562-2308 or provide me with their contact information at [email protected]. We stand ready to serve.
