On behalf of the Officers, Business Agents, staff, and myself, I wish everyone a happy and safe Memorial Day. If you're traveling, be careful. AAA projects 45.1 million people will travel at least 50 miles from home over the Memorial Day holiday period.

As you spend the day with family and friends at a picnic, the beach, a backyard cookout, or just relaxing at home, please take a moment to remember the service men and women who gave their lives protecting the freedoms, rights, and liberty that we all enjoy in our great country. Also, please keep a place in your heart for our service men and women who proudly serve to preserve the rights and liberties that others sacrificed for.

In Solidarity,

Ed Thompson,

President, Teamsters Local 776

…And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me…
