"Poor is the Nation that has no heroes, but beggared is the Nation that has and forgets them." Those we honor this Memorial Day answered their call to duty, and in doing so, they honored us. We owe them our deep and profound gratitude, and we must pass that sense of obligation on to the next generation. Tens of thousands of names are inscribed on war memorials and headstones all across this country and in a number of overseas locations. From a distance, those names may seem indistinguishable. Yet, every husband or wife, mother or father, brother or sister, son or daughter, who visits, will always see his or her loved one's name first. This Memorial Day, we also honor and thank them those who placed so much on the altar of Freedom and for whom the pain of loss remains undiminished.

In honor of Memorial Day, the USO, CMT and Zac Brown Band bring you the brand new video 'FREE' ...

I wish to remember Captain Jeffrey Olson who, along with two other airmen, died when his B-52 went down off Diego Garcia during operation Desert Storm.  His body was never recovered.  It is believed he was unable to eject from the aircraft before it hit the ocean.  He left a wife behind.  I wish I could remember the names of the other two men but their lives were no less significant to those close to them and to the people of the Unites States.

For all who gave their lives in the service of this country, I salute you!

My son's boy scout pack participated in the local Memorial day parade. They carried a rope with yellow ribbons attached each representing a soldier that has fallen in Iraq and Afganistan. it was sobering to see how many ribbons there were. The rope seemed to go on forever and the ribbons, so many, too many...
