Honor Our Fallen This Memorial Day
Monday, May 29th, 2023I’ve often seen a quote which is used to describe our Vietnam Veterans, “All Gave Some, Some Gave All,” but I think it’s an appropriate epitaph for all of our nation’s fallen service members, no matter what era they served, nor what took them from us.
Enjoy the day, but take a moment to honor and remember our brothers and sisters. Death takes some on the battlefield. It takes others in more insidious ways, sometimes long after the battle is done.
