I hold soldiers and their family members at the top of the ladder. They are the best. Freedom loving individuals who give their lives, souls, blood, sweat, and usually one or two marriages to defense of the Republic.
This day of the year is when I fly my flag the highest. The people who gave their lives in defense of the Republic made the ultimate sacrifice and should never, ever be forgotten. God bless each and everyone. I am proud to have served with such a wonderful group of people. You all have my undying admiration.
