"It is, in a way, an odd thing to honor those who died in defense
of our country, in defense of us, in wars far away. The imagination plays a
trick. We see these soldiers in our mind as old and wise. We see them as
something like the Founding Fathers, grave and gray haired. But most of them
were boys when they died, and they gave up two lives—the one they were living
and the one they would have lived. When they died, they gave up their chance to
be husbands and fathers and grandfathers. They gave up their chance to be
revered old men. They gave up everything for our country, for us. And all we
can do is remember." Ronald Reagan
Thank you to those who have served and still serve.
