I found the words below and wanted to share them. Please take a moment today to reflect and remember those who gave their lives for all of us.
These words were spoken by President Reagan at Arlington..
It is in a way, an odd thing to honor those who died in defense of our country, in defense of us, in wars far away. The imagination plays a trick. We see these soldiers in our minds as old and wise. We see them as something like the Founding Fathers, grave and gray haired. But most of them were boys when they died, and they gave up two lives-the one they were living and the one they would have lived. When they died, they gave up their chance to be husbands, fathers and grandfathers. They gave up their chance to be revered old men. They gave up everything for our country, for us. And all we can we can do is remember.
