Thinking of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

Thanks for posting this. Please take a little time to give a moment of silence to all of those who lost their lives defending the rights we have now.

And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
~Lee Greenwood

Generation after generation, the cream has risen to the top.
They put the welfare of us all ahead of their personal safety and even
their own families.

We owe them a debt we can never repay.

A mile from my door is a VA Suicide Center - one of the largest.
It is a tragedy that it has to exist.

We all really need to do more to force our government to do better for our elite citizens when they come home.

Start today, with a prayer for those who gave us our freedom.
Follow up tomorrow, with letters to your representatives and to the White House. Demand a better deal for those who gave us our great deal.

[Marshall Bennett]

They gave their lives to allow us the freedom to post this.
God bless their souls.

Thank you, PA, for the front page memorial. Thank you Fast, and so important, thank you, Tom, for what you've written.

For all who've died, for all who've served and returned home, for all who serve still today. And, for the families, the loved ones who've supported them--we owe you our deepest gratitude and greatest respect.
