To Remember

I won't endeavor to add to this, other than to say that despite the cloud of cynicism that frequently hangs over my head, the cause of freedom and peace remain ever just. May I myself learn to view our current struggles with hope, and in the words of Private Martin A. Treptow, "Therefore I will work, I will save, I will sacrifice, I will endure, I will fight cheerfully and do my utmost, as if the whole issue of the struggle depended on me alone."

Remembering our heroes, and giving thanks for the innumerable sacrifices made on my behalf. Amen.
