To the Editor:

This year, Memorial Day comes during a particularly trying time. But even amid the hardship and uncertainty brought on by the current public health crisis, Americans across the country will take time to honor the men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country. On May 25th, whether you’re social distancing at home or cautiously beginning to return to normal life, join us in celebrating those who bravely defended our freedom, safety, and wellbeing.

While so many things have changed over the past few months, Memorial Day is an opportunity to take a step back and reflect on the sacrifices made by our fallen heroes. If you’re raising a glass in their honor, remember to prioritize the very thing our servicemen and women fought so selflessly to preserve: our safety. Regardless of how you’re saluting our fallen heroes, if your plans involve alcohol, make sure you take steps to protect yourself and your neighbors by hydrating between beers and drinking responsibly.

From all of us at Dichello Distributors, Inc, we wish you a happy and safe Memorial Day.
