take care of each other and ourselves. With the
increase of outdoor activities and travel often
comes increased risks and off-duty accidents.

To the Soldiers, Families and community of
III Corps and Fort Hood:
It’s an honor to stand
alongside you on this
Memorial Day in solemn
remembrance of the val-
iant men and women in
uniform who gave every-
thing to the cause of free-
dom and liberty. We also
remember the Gold Star
Families to whom we owe a debt that can
never be repaid. Memorial Day represents a day
of national awareness and reverence, honoring
Americans who died while defending our nation.
“You have one human-
ity and that’s every-
body.”
It is because of their sacrifices that we continue
to live in a free and democratic society.
From the first Memorial Day observance at
the close of the Civil War, to the heartfelt cer-
emonies taking place in every American com-
munity today, the people of our nation have
always taken the time to consider the price of
freedom. We recall the names, the faces and the
legacies of the fallen, and we must ensure that
the purpose for which they fought will never be
forgotten.
We can honor the sacrifice of our fallen patri-
ots in a collective way by participating in the
National Moment of Remembrance, a call to
voluntarily and informally pause at 3 p.m. local
time on Monday, Memorial Day, to remember
those Americans who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
On this weekend in which we remember the
in
“The Army is a melting
pot and a place you can
find anybody from any
corner of the world.”
“Because anybody in
the Army should be
able to celebrate their
culture.”
“Because without
knowing cultures, we
have no understanding
of the world and how it
works.”
something for everyone. Trips offered this
summer include Hawaiian Falls, Six Flags,
Schlitterbahn and more.
Summer wouldn’t be the same without a
little friendly competition. Youth Sports &
Fitness focuses on developing the whole play-
er, from learning the proper skills to ensuring
the right attitude. This summer’s sports camps
will include baseball, soccer, football, cheer
and volleyball.
You won’t want to miss all the excitement
in SKIESUnlimited over the summer.
Whether your child enjoys dance, music,
gymnastics or martial arts, SKIES has a class
for you.
CYS is always honored to serve you. We
hope that you will make CYS your first
choice for SUMMER programming. Registra-
tion information is available by calling Parent
Central Services at 287-8029.
