    Initially struck me as maudlin but I quickly realized how much our ancestors sacrificed for us. We gained because of their losses.

    Can never say enough about those that gave their lives so we have the things of today.

    Can be on either side of the aisle on politics but we have that right because of their sacrifice.

    A few years back I had the honor of transporting the widow of a recently deceased Marine Corp Veteran of the Battle of Iwo Jima. He was buried with full Military Honors. I asked the Marine Honor Guard if they knew anything about the deceased? They did not. Their demeanor changed once I informed them that he fought at Iwo. At the end of the ceremony they all went up to the widow and one by one held her hand.
