00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:13,040
I want to welcome you to our annual
Memorial Day service and thank you for

2
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:16,760
coming out today to recognize, honor,
and remember those who have served and

3
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:24,840
especially those who have made the
ultimate sacrifice.

4
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:24,840
» Morning breaks on Beach Haven shore.

5
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:32,040
Golden light
through windows and open doors.

6
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:42,080
Flags are dancing
in the salt air breeze.

7
00:00:39,160 --> 00:00:50,960
Church bells echo
softly through the trees.

8
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:53,520
Bikes down Bay Avenue begin
to roll.

9
00:00:54,160 --> 00:01:01,000
Coffee cups in hand,
familiar souls.

10
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:10,960
Boats are rocking gently
in the harbor light.

11
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:15,480
Freedom lives in moments
just like

12
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:22,600
tonight.
But before the laughter,

13
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:27,080
before summer starts,
we pause together

14
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,200
with grateful
hearts.

15
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,640
Beach Haven remembers,
proud and true,

16
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:40,360
beneath the red,
the white, and blue.

17
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:45,440
From the ocean waves to the base soft
lights,

18
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:49,960
we honor the brave here tonight. Raise
your voices, let freedom ring

19
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:54,520
in every prayer
we speak today.

20
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:59,080
On this silent shore where memories
remain,

21
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:02,680
we thank the heroes
who carried the pain.

22
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:14,800
Children laughing on the sidewalks
near.

23
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:20,040
Families
gathering

24
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:28,560
year after year.
Yet empty chairs still quietly remain

25
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:31,200
for those whose sacrifice can't be
explained.

26
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:42,600
From the yachts at the marina sails held
high to sunsets burning low across the

27
00:02:37,959 --> 00:02:48,640
sky. Every freedom that we hold so dear
was purchased by the brave who brought

28
00:02:44,920 --> 00:02:54,600
us here. So before the fireworks paint
the night, we stand together in

29
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,600
candlelight.

30
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:04,000
Each heaven remembers proud and true
beneath the red,

31
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:10,280
the white and blue. From the ocean waves
to the base of the lights,

32
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:16,680
we honor the brave here tonight. Raise
your voices, let freedom stand

33
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:23,880
in every prayer we speak today.
On this hallowed soil where memories

34
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:27,000
remain, we thank the heroes
WHO CARRIED the pain.

35
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:49,880
Every wave upon the shoreline knows the
names of courage carried IN ITS FLOW.

36
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:57,120
EVERY bell that rings across this town
calls us to remember those laid down and

37
00:03:53,560 --> 00:04:07,160
when the stars shine over little lake
tonight

38
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:07,160
may heaven hold our heroes in its light.

39
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:14,240
» May heaven remember forever true
>> beneath the red,

40
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:19,359
the white, AND BLUE.
>> FROM BAY

41
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:22,120
AVENUE to the oceanside, we carry on
memories

42
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:25,600
» with endless pride.
>> Let freedom

43
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:29,040
ring across the summer sky.
>> With grateful hearts

44
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:32,040
and tear-filled
>> eyes on

45
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:35,160
this Memorial Day,
our voices say

46
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:45,080
thank you for the gift
of the American way.
