Gracing the walls of the building that houses my office are the names of each fallen brother and sister from my war. Each day, as I pass through the entrance, I see the faces of those I knew, and each time my eye catches a heading for all lost in a given month and year my mind replays conversations I had with so many fallen friends.
The etching of their names brings back memories of their commitment to the fight for freedom and the way nothing would ever stop them. It’s an important reminder that our freedom is not free. It’s paid for with the blood and sacrifice of those who came before us, and it’s because of them that we live freely in the best country in the world.
So, if you haven’t already this Memorial Day, please take a moment to remember the fallen and honor their service.
From the bottom of my heart, to the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country: we will always remember, honor, and celebrate your life!
