Happy Memorial Day!

Let us all remember those who died for the sake of keeping our country safe, for the men and women who gave up their lives to keep our freedom! May God give those with lost ones comfort and peace on this day of rememberance.

"I have no illusions about what little I can add now to the silent testimony of those who gave their lives willingly for their country. Words are even more feeble on this Memorial Day, for the sight before us is that of a strong and good nation that stands in silence and remembers those who were loved and who, in return, loved their
countrymen enough to die for them.......

As we honor their memory today, let us pledge that their lives, their sacrifices, their valor shall be justified and remembered for as long as God gives life to this nation. And let us also pledge to do our utmost to carry out what must have been their wish: that no other generation of young men will every have to share their experiences and repeat their sacrifice......"
