Happy memorial day. As a prior federal contractor, I would like to point out that many federal contractors on my contracts and other people's contracts were killed in the line of duty. However, the United States of America does not currently have a holiday that commemorates or includes these federal contractors, who gave the ultimate sacrifice; although not active duty military, they, along with their families, gave the ultimate their lives. I believe that we should also honor them and either include them in memorial day celebrations or create a separate federal holiday that celebrates the sacrifices that these federal contractors gave to protect and serve our country.

I don’t think that we should continue to forget the forgotten. God bless America.
