I want to formally thank and remember the soldiers who've fought and died defending the place they called home. Soldiers who fought for humanity, dignity, freedom, and safety. In a world of changing morals, beliefs, and ideals, the military remains a beacon of integrity, order, and safety.
Let us celebrate today, not as a free holiday, but as a celebration of the lives laid down in the name of Liberty. The ones who put their lives down so that others could live theirs free, safe, and joyful. Soldiers who made the biggest sacrifice possible for the sake of people they don't even know.
Let us hold remembrance for the great heroes and sorrowful victims of the tragedies of the world. Remember those lives lost September 11th, 2001. Remember those lives lost at Columbine and all the other terrible shootings. Remember the victims of Boston, Vegas, and so many other terrible events.
All people taken from us too soon. Friends, Family, Neighbors, Employers, Employees. All having life cruelly taken from them before they could make their mark on the world, or taken while they made their mark on the world.
Most importantly, this Memorial Day, hold close the memories of the people you knew who were gone too soon. Even in a somber holiday, celebrate the life they lived, and the impact they had on your life.
