our freedom and way of life.
to all those who froze at valley forge, and died on revolutionary war battle fields. to those
who preserved the union in the fight against those who would have destroyed it.
to the doughboys who suffered in the trenches and endured poison gas attacks.
to those who fought their wary through the pacific at Okinawa, Iwo Jima, the battle
of the coral sea and beyond.
to the brave men who charged machine guns and artillery to establish the beach head on D-Day.
and who fought their way across Europe and north Africa.
to those who fought and died in korea and in the jungles of viet nam.
to all the blinded and maimed who gave their health to our country in the needless neo con wars of
the middle east.
please accept my gratitude and my salute for having the courage to do what most ordinary men could not.
