No, I will never forget that day.

It was that day that turned the hearts of several young junior's in high-school. Young boys who had been waffling around about school, colleges, and future graduations. On that day or soon following a dozen or so young high-school students talked to their parents, friends, and family about how to serve their country. In those moments that followed, a group of American kids were inspired to make life changing decisions. Adults convinced them to finish high-school and graduate, recruiters supported them in classes and physical education and patriotism. Soon high-school graduation was but a memory, and graduation from Parris Island was the goal, and then each one on to his specialty whether it be planes, radios, or tanks and bombs each with service in mind. One has been to the arena of battle and back, another is there now serving, and another anticipates his turn, and some have gone home to God.

No, I do not forget.
