In this life, there are not many things that I am absolutely certain of, but on Memorial Day there are a few things that I know deep in my heart to be absolutely true. I know that we can never be thankful enough for the great men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our sake. I know that these great service men and women represent the very pinnacle of patriotism. I know their sacrifices are representative of the character of this nation we all love so much. I know that each and every one of them lived the warrior ethos, parts of which declare “I serve the people of the United States of America. I will never accept defeat. I will never quit. I will never leave a fallen comrade.” On Memorial day I remember, and I know these things are true. On Memorial Day I remember to say; God bless all those that have sacrificed all they had to sacrifice and God bless America.
