Every year, thousands of American flags are planted on Boston Common to honor the service members who gave their lives for our country. Each one represents a person, a family, and a sacrifice that made our freedoms possible.   What makes this memorial so meaningful is that it’s built by people showing up, year after year, to remember. A simple act of love and gratitude that, together, becomes something even more powerful.    For 250 years, Americans in every generation have answered the call to serve — an unbroken line that started right here in Massachusetts with the National Guard and the battles of Lexington and Concord.    Ahead of Memorial Day, @JLydgate and I joined @homebaseprogram to honor the fallen, the veterans who carry their memory forward, and the families we’re committed to supporting every day. We will never forget your loved ones, their service, or the sacrifice they made for our country 🇺🇸
