Today we honor those many men, and a few women, who have died serving in the various branches of the U.S. military. However much we may regret the fact, nations require defending and that defense costs the lives of mostly young, healthy people.
In truth, every day we spend more or less at peace enjoying one of the world’s best standards of living and widest range of political freedoms is a tribute to those brave young people who lost their lives defending our polity. We are forever in their debt.
