Tonight, due to weather, we were unable to gather at Veterans Memorial Park for our annual candlelight remembrance ceremony. But while the event was canceled, our commitment to honoring our fallen heroes remains.
During this ceremony, 204 candles are placed along the memorial wall, one for each fallen Doña Ana County service member who gave their life in service to our nation. As each name is read aloud, a candle is placed on the wall in their honor, ensuring their sacrifice is remembered and their legacy lives on.
Tonight, we invite you to join us in spirit. As you watch this candle being lit, take a moment to reflect on the courage, service, and sacrifice of these 204 heroes and the families they left behind.
Their names may not be read aloud together this evening, but they are not forgotten. 🇺🇸
