The Prairie Fire Battalion would like to take the time on this somber day to remember those that came before and gave everything. To honor their sacrifice by realizing that we owe them our gratitude and remembering them while we are enjoying our long weekends and our barbecues with our families.

“Let us not forget our fallen comrades, but remember them always, for they have earned our respect and admiration with their lives. We are compelled to never forget that while we enjoy our daily pleasures, there are others who have endured the agonies of pain, deprivation, and death; To the fallen!” 🍻
