Memorial Day - May 25th

[CarlS]

May 25th is Memorial Day in the US, a holiday set aside to remember and honor those who gave their all in service of their country. I salute those who made the ultimate sacrifice, including CW2 Justin S Swofford, so that I might enjoy our freedoms. I also salute those who are currently serving in harms way in the War on Terror. I salute all those of others nations who donned the uniform and made that ultimate sacrifice defending their respective countries.

Godspeed and rest in peace; your duty is done.

Please take time remember those who gave so much. I will be attending a ceremony at the Florida National Cemetery and then travel to St Augustine to visit Justin's grave.

“They shall not grow old,
As we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them,
Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning
We will remember them.â€
– Laurence Binyon (1869-1943)
