As we celebrate Memorial Day with picnics, family and friends, let us take a moment to remember the brave men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for the freedom we enjoy, and the families who can no longer count them at their tables today, or on any other day, that we may all enjoy the fruits of their noble sacrifice.
Please fly your flags today in grateful remembrance of those who have paid and continue to pay the price of defending our freedom at home and abroad. See in her reflected the pride and sacrifice of our beloved dead. God Bless them all, and God Bless and comfort their families. And God Bless all who served and serve with honor.

Death of a Quiet Soldier
Behind enemy lines you gave your life,
The risks you knew and embraced willingly,
Red, black and green berets fought by your side,
And brought your body back to family.
Later in a ritual of their own,
They Christened a field airport in your name,
And honored you, your brothers, far from home,
Their memory now your eternal flame.
I do not know your rank, your name, your face,
I only know that I am in your debt,
Who for your family can take your place?
Our debt to them we must never forget.
The freedom I enjoy comes thanks to you,
And all who serve with honor, proud and true.
