Governor Phil Scott today issued the following statement:
"As we celebrate and enjoy this Memorial Day weekend across Vermont, I hope we all stop to appreciate and remember those who have given their lives in service to our country. I want to personally thank all active military members, veterans and their families. The sacrifices made for our freedom should never be taken for granted, and on Memorial Day -- and every day -- we honor and thank you.
"Heading into the holiday weekend, which serves as the unofficial start to summer, I want to encourage all Vermonters to enjoy time with friends and family, take advantage of Vermont's many outdoor recreational opportunities, and have a safe and happy holiday."
