A Memorial Day Message from SMART-TD President Jeremy Ferguson

Brothers and Sisters, 

On this Memorial Day, we at the SMART Transportation Division solemnly honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving the United States of America. Their selfless service protects the freedoms we cherish and upholds the values that define our nation. 

As a veteran, I have a deep, personal appreciation for the courage and commitment demonstrated by our fallen heroes. Memorial Day is a time of reflection and remembering those who gave their lives for something greater than themselves.  

Let us never forget that the liberties we enjoy today were secured by those who paid the highest price. These freedoms, including our right to organize and to speak freely, are not guaranteed without the sacrifices of generations of service members who stood guard for our nation. 

This Memorial Day, I ask that we each take a moment to pause, reflect, and pay tribute to all those who have lost their lives while in service to our great nation. May we also extend our gratitude to their families, who carry a burden of grief and pride that most can only imagine. 

May their memory be eternal and may we honor them not only in words, but through our actions by living with purpose, working with dignity, and always standing together for what is right. 

Please be safe this holiday weekend. Thank you for all that you do, and may God bless our troops. 

In Solidarity, 
Jeremy R. Ferguson 
President, SMART Transportation Division 
U.S. Army 1988-1991
