We want our local veterans to know that we are on their side,” said Jamie Ross, Indivisible Sequim’s community building chair. “Come show your support for those who have given to you. Service members have sacrificed their time, health, hearts and souls for our country. Memorial Day is the holiday that commemorates those who gave the ultimate sacrifice of their lives.”
