Whether it was an accident of fate or a sign of some deeper connection, one thing I know happened on Monday was this: I made my first visit to Sugar Land Memorial Park on Memorial Day. And while that visit did not coincide with the ceremony the City of Sugar Land had held earlier that day, I was able to solemnly reflect on the brave men and women who have served our country with honor and dignity until their very last breath as I walked past the Sugar Land Remembrance Tower, which commemorates those who have served for every branch of the U.S. Armed Forces.Â
