SmallGovCon Week in Review: May 18-22, 2026

This Memorial Day, we take time to reflect on the extraordinary courage and sacrifice of those who gave their lives serving our country. Their selfless dedication to protecting our freedoms and defending our nation will always be remembered with the utmost gratitude and respect. We further wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to all veterans and military families who have carried the burdens of service with strength and honor. It is because of those sacrifices we are able to enjoy the liberties and opportunities we too often take for granted. Today, we honor their legacy, remember the fallen, and express our deepest appreciation to those who have served and continue to serve our nation with pride.
