View Comments The American Legion Auxiliary of Post 17 in Lewes hopes that each of you will pause with love in your heart for the parents, siblings, spouses, and friends of those who served our great country. The Post 17 family can’t help but think of all the men and women who have gone to fight for this great nation and didn’t return home. We especially pay tribute to our local Veterans and their families and friends. Memorial Day Weekend is when Americans set aside time to honor those brave men and women who met tragic ends while defending our freedom. It is our duty to honor their sacrifices, to pray for their families, and to bow our heads in recognition of their service.
