This weekend is a tribute to them – and to the many moms and dads, sisters and brothers, who, as Abraham Lincoln said, “here gave their lives that that nation might live.” It’s a tribute to those who have shouldered burdens, braved enemy fire, and tasted freedom in ways the protected will never know. It’s a tribute to those who strap on helmets and body armor and volunteer to board planes to front lines far away, so the rest of us can enjoy our freedoms.
It’s a tribute to those who stood up and said, “Send me.”
