As we head into Memorial Day weekend, BNSF railroaders are making a lasting impact in their communities through service beyond the rails.

In Aberdeen, South Dakota, three BNSF locomotive engineers and veterans helped lead an effort that raised $150,000 in fewer than two years to build a Gold Star Families Memorial Monument honoring families who lost loved ones in military service.

Supported by fellow railroaders, local businesses and the Aberdeen community, the memorial now provides a peaceful place for reflection, remembrance and connection for Gold Star families.

Doing a little internet digging to confirm the origins of a photo I scrolled past and I came across this one and thought it was stunning.
