On April 29, 2004, as a service and tribute to members of the World War II Generation, the National World War II Memorial opened for public viewing, exactly one month prior to the formal Dedication Ceremony taking place May 29, 2004. The World War II Memorial is the first national memorial dedicated to all who served during the Second World War. The memorial, established by the American Battle Monuments Commission, honors all military veterans of the war, the citizens on the home front, the nation at large, and the high moral purpose and idealism that motivated the nation's call to arms. The Second World War is the only 20th-century event commemorated on the Mall's central axis. (from www.wwiimemorial.com)
Don't forget that you can watch the dedication today!! God Bless all of our Veterans & Active Duty!!! |

It is the soldier, not the reporter Who has given us the freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us Freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer Who has given us the Freedom to demonstrate It is the soldier, who serves beneath the Flag, Who salutes the Flag, Whose coffin is draped by the Flag, Who allows the protestor to burn the Flag, It is the soldier, not the politician, Who has given his blood, his body, his life, Who has given us these FREEDOMS Father Denis Edward O'Brien, USMC |

Hello txradioguy!
Thank you for your service to America. Please pass on the well wishes to your family as well. They are serving and are equally important.
Gordon Sinclair's message can be found up in the Music Dedication as well as the lyrics. Thanks for sharing the information with everyone. I can always read it over and over again.
