i nation that sustains
the course of history’s
great struggles owes its'
existence to the people who
protect it — the men and women
who stand ready to fight for it.
j > ^America can be proud of those who
have served in the armed forces
throughout the past, and
sadly, mourn those who gave
their lives. Memorial Day is a time
to remember, and a time to honor, the
very people whose greatest
'sacrifice contributed to the
J strength and growth of
'> jthis nation. May
jtheir heroic deeds never
I be forgotten.
