Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women from Paulding County and Defiance County who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice, courage, and dedication will never be forgotten.

On this Memorial Day, we stand together in gratitude for those who paid the ultimate price for the freedoms we enjoy every day. May we always remember their legacy and honor the families who carry their memory forward.

🇺🇸 We remember. We honor. We thank you. 🇺🇸
