NGAT would like to pause to honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation.
Memorial Day is not simply a day off. It is a day to remember the cost of freedom, and to ensure their sacrifice is never forgotten.
In honored memory of those who gave all.
This weekend, we encourage everyone in our NGAT family to enjoy the time with family, friends, & fellow service members, but to do so with responsibility & good judgment.
Look out for one another. Make smart decisions. Have a plan before you need one.
Stay safe. Be responsible.
