Memorial Day is a day of remembrance in honor of those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country.

Let's not forget that it is because of these brave men and women who never made it home that we enjoy all that we have today.

We must always remember these heroes. We owe them much, and we are forever grateful for their service and ultimate sacrifice. 🇺🇸

With heavy hearts, we remember World War II veteran Mahlon Iverson, who has passed away at the age of 99. 🇺🇸 At a young age, he left behind the comfort of home and stepped into a world consumed by war. Serving as a Staff Sergeant with the 31st Infantry Division during the Battle of Okinawa, Mahlon stood in one of the deadliest and most brutal campaigns of the Pacific Theater.

For 18 long months overseas, he carried the weight of war on his shoulders — responsibility for the mission, responsibility for the men beside him, and the quiet burden carried by so many of his generation.

And when the war ended, he came home not asking for recognition or praise.

He simply got back to work.

He farmed the land in Heron Lake, supported his community, and later spent years working at Campbell Soup Company. Like so many from the Greatest Generation, he built a life through humility, sacrifice, and quiet strength.

Now another voice from that generation has fallen silent.

But men like Mahlon Iverson are never truly gone.
Because the freedoms we enjoy today were built on the backs of ordinary men who answered extraordinary calls.

He may never have asked to be remembered…
but he deserves to be.

Somewhere beyond this world, the guns are silent now.
The battle is over.
And a weary soldier is finally home.

Rest in peace, Sir.
Your service — and your generation — will never be forgotten. 🇺🇸

Today and every day, we at Flagpole Express, thank our Armed Forces for all that they do in defending our great Nation! God bless. ♥️🇺🇸♥️

Today, the nation honors the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces, recognizing their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to defending America.

"As we celebrate 250 glorious years of American independence this year, we acknowledge that our precious freedom, enjoyed and embraced by generation after generation, has been secured for all citizens by the providence and grace of Almighty God and the service and sacrifice of every member of our military," a White House statement reads.
