In my opinion all true Americans should be grateful to those who have given up a measure of their individuality so that we may all keep ours. It is because of them that we may freely express our views today. With that in mind...
To those who stand the lonely watch far from home, I stand with you.
To those who have given of themselves in the past so that we may enjoy the freedoms of today, I will never forget you.
To those who are still held captive,
I help work for your release. As your loved ones keep a place for you in
their homes, so do I keep a place for you in my heart.
To those who endure the
ill-intentioned critisism and ridicule of people without honor, know that
I endure with you. YOUR honor will always be true.
To those who have suffered broken bodies
and shattered lives in the defense of liberty, I thank you. Your spirit
will live forever.
To those who have given their
lives for their comrades, and so that all Americans may be free, I thank
you. May your spirits join your gods in the places where warriors who
have given their all rest finally in peace.
