SWMW Law Attorneys and Staff Honor Fallen Heroes on Memorial Day

The rain stopped just in time Sunday for volunteers from SWMW Law to gather at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery with a shared purpose: to honor our fallen heroes for Memorial Day.

Twenty-one SWMW Law employees and family members placed more than 1,000 American flags on the gravesites at the cemetery, a heartfelt tribute to the brave men and women who have served our country with unwavering courage. As we stood amidst the solemn rows of graves, the significance of our small act of remembrance was profound.

We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to pay our respects and to reflect on the sacrifices made by so many. Their legacy lives on, and we are committed to ensuring that their bravery is never forgotten. #BecausePeopleMatter
