Duty, Honor, Country

On this day, we remember the sacrifice given by so many and the families that support them. So often, we forget that there are so many men and women who have given their lives for what we're able to do, not only those serving in Iraq and Afghanistan but those who have come before us.

You think of the Civil War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War just to name a few. The sacrifice made, a sacrifice that a lot of us don't have the guts to make. We're able to be the country we are, make the decisions we can make and believe what we believe because of the brave ones who laid down their life.

A big thanks goes out to the men and women of the armed forces serving around the world and an even bigger thanks to those who were the appitemy of sacrifice.

This is to my cousin who's served two tours of duty in Iraq as part of the US Army's 82nd Airborne, to a good friend of my girlfriend's, C.J. who lost his life while serving his country in Iraq, and to both of my grandfather's who served in World War II who taught me that it's not up to you when you go, but it's God who calls you home.

Thank You for all you do and continue to do. It should and will never be forgotten.
