Tomorrow we observe Memorial Day, the day our nation sets aside to honor those brave men and women who have gone to war on our behalf, and lost their lives doing so. By implication, we also honor all those who willingly risk their lives on our behalf, which includes service members, and first responders here at home.
My father and his West Point grad brother served in World War I, two of my mother's brothers, her sister, and the sister's husband all served in World War II. Thankfully, all came home safely.
We owe those who served much more than it is possible to say. And to the memory of those who died keeping us safe we owe even more.
