“Memorial Day is a solemn occasion, a tribute to individuals who lost their lives in service to our country,” CEO James Demetriades said to open Princeton Health’s Memorial Day tribute.
A few dozen Princeton Health staff members joined Demetriades outside Princeton Medical Center on May 25 for an event held in the shadow of the hospital’s flagpole, which was flying the U.S. flag and a POW-MIA banner.
“Dying while serving one’s country is the ultimate sacrifice,” Demetriades said. “There are lessons to be learned in the way these individuals lived, as well as the way they died, and that is the true meaning behind Memorial Day. We are honoring those who never made it home.”
