Our Voice And Yours


On Memorial day, traditionally we recognize and remember military veterans who helped preserve our cherished freedom by participating in parades, by visiting cemeteries, by placing flags and flowers on the graves of those who have died, and paid tribute . Memorial day is a celebration of one's life and in remembrance, Lokvani would like to dedicate this issue to all the veterans and to hope and peace as a symbol of the human spirit.
