Memorial Day is more than just the kick off to the summer season, it’s a day of reflection, to honor those who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. From all of us at Nation Media, thank you to those who have bravely given all.
From eventer Lainey Ashker:
“People frequently ask me what my cross country colors are and I tell them they’re more of a “feeling” than being decked out in red, white and blue. I am proud to be an American, a registered voter, a small part of a democratic society and have the opportunity to ride these beautiful American racehorses and give them a second chance on life as well. I also realize that these luxuries aren’t a given and so my “cross country colors” are also an expression of GRATITUDE for those who have fallen and those who continue to fight for our rights to call this amazing country our HOME!”
