I will not forget
I live in freedom upon the blood and sacrifice of men and women whose faces I do not know, people in whom the principles of this nation were and are more than vague notions of a dusty parchment, for whom liberty and justice are more than half-hearted words uttered by ignorant school children, but are beliefs lived for, fought for, and died for. On this Memorial Day and every day that I live free because of those who have laid their most beloved upon the altar of freedom, becase of those who have given their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor, I will never forget your precious sacrifices offered in the name of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness that, free and independent, the United States of America shall remain the greatest country that has ever been.
