While no words can really express what these brave men did for us and the world, I'll try anyway.
For those with family members who are, were, or died fighting for this country, Thank You.
Hearing just one story from any Veteran is enough to make one cry. I couldn't even begin to imagine, being 18 years old myself, being sent out to fight. Unless you were actually in war, I think it would be pretty difficult to understand how it would feel to lose best friends and brothers and men beside you at such a staggering rate. Hearing about the 1000+ soldiers that have died in Iraq, you feel extremely sorry, but even that pales in comparison to the millions that died, truly a frightening number.
I've made it my goal in life to at least once go to France and walk Juno Beach, see Vimy Ridge, or go to a cemetary to pay respect to all those that died for us so we could be hear today.
As the years go by, the voices of the Veterans are growing quieter and quieter, so let's take a moment of silence to remember all those brave brave men.
Remember
