2023 Memorial Day Message

  • Defense Threat Reduction Agency
  • May 26, 2023 | 1:16

Memorial Day is a time to honor the men and women who made the ultimate
sacrifice while serving their country, and honor our Gold Star spouses and
family members as they grieve while carrying on the legacies of our fallen
military. Many of our DTRA team served alongside these brave Americans
during their career, and we are forever indebted to their sacrifice for the
freedoms we enjoy today.
