“America’s important,” said U.S. Rep. Sam Johnson, R, Plano. “If we value our freedom, we ought to value those who gave their lives to fight for it.”
 
Those words and the sentiments behind them drew Johnson and an estimated 1,000 other Collin County residents to the 24th Pecan Grove Cemetery Memorial Day Program Monday.
 
Attendees at the ceremony were welcomed by the President of Pecan Grove Ceremony Harry McKillop. “I have great personal pride in welcoming all the ‘McKinneyites’ and neighbors attending the ceremony,” he said.
