“Each of these heroes stands in the unbroken line of patriots who have dared to die, that freedom might live and grow and increase in its blessings.” Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Our fallen heroes are the reason we are privileged to live in a nation where we get to sleep safely and soundly in our beds every night. This is one of many reasons they deserve this day when we remember their service and sacrifice and pay them honor and tribute.

“Only the dead have seen the end of war.” – Plato.
