Memorial Day 2015 -Remembering and Honoring

To be an American is a great honor, coupled with a specific responsibility. To protect the nation, keep it free, help others where appropriate, and keep it a place for others to come. We honor our fallen veterans today who have done so in so many ways and various different periods of history over the past 239 years.

Thank you to those who gave and to their family and friends. If you know of one of these thank them.

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty. -- John F. Kennedy
