Memorial Day: Remembering and Honoring Fallen Heroes

Today, we take a moment to remember and honor the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice defending our country's values. They are heroes who put their lives on the line to protect the freedoms we enjoy every day. As a union representing tens of thousands of workers in the transportation industry, we are deeply connected to the values of service, sacrifice, and dedication to something greater than ourselves. We honor the memory of those who devoted their lives to our nation's defense including the many members of our TWU Local 100 family who have served our country with honor and distinction. 

On this solemn day, we also commit ourselves to continuing the fight for a more just and equitable society. One that lives up to the ideals many of our brave soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines died defending. We remember not just their sacrifices, but the principles of democracy, equality, and freedom they died for. 

To all our fallen heroes, and those who survived, we say thank you for your service and sacrifice.  To their families and loved ones, we offer our deepest sympthy and gratitude. On behalf of TWU Local 100 we wish everyone a peaceful and reflective Memorial Day. 

We will never forget.
