(NMAM) is celebrated every May and is a declaration that encourages U.S.
citizens to observe the month in a symbol of unity, to honor the current and
former members of the U.S. Armed Forces, including those who have died in the
pursuit of freedom. The Brooklyn Young Republicans ask all our club members,
friends and family to remember our veterans and current Armed Forces members
who have protected our freedoms.
