We are eternally grateful for those who sacrificed their lives fighting for our country. As we remember the fallen, our thoughts are with the loved ones left behind who mourn today. ##MemorialDay #thankyouforyourservice #WeRemember
Memorial Day is for the fallen. We honor those who have served and sacrificed for our great nation. Note: Members of the same household may elect to remove face coverings while at gravesite and distanced from others. You may see examples of that in this video.

We can do this! #StayAtHome a little longer, as cases continue to rise rapidly. It is a challenging time for all. We believe that the more isolation we keep this month, the sooner we will be on the other side of this crisis. #LAFD #MedicalDirector #COVID19 #StayHomeSaveLives
