This is one of those days where Americans spend their time drinking beer, having a couple hot dogs as they relax by the pool.  To many, this is the "official" start to summer.

Fuck that.

Today is about the courage, sacrifice and honor of those that have paid the ultimate price of service for this country.  Today is about those that have held the line, braved the unknown and have answered the call.  Today is about those that knew full well that this eventuality could occur, and they held their ground in the face of it all.

Today is about the American Soldier.  Today is about the American Marine.  Today is about the American Airman.  Today is about the American Seaman.

Remember Them.
