Today, as we enjoy the simple things in life like.. spending time with family and friends, grilling, swimming, laughing, and just simply making memories.. let’s not forget the reasons we get to enjoy all those things.

Today, we remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice so that we may enjoy not only our freedom but all the simple things in life that we take for granted.

From all of us here at Local 3571, Happy Memorial Day! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Well.. When we say we are there when anyone needs us we do mean EVERYONE! Yesterday, members from St2 were called by a local business that was in need of some help. A momma duck had alerted them and lead them to where her babies had falling into a sewer and we were called in to assist! The members were able to rescue them all and bring the whole duck family back together. What a great start to this Mothers Day weekend.
