MEMORIAL DAY

You did what you had to do and you kept on going. When these troops swept across the French countryside and into the forests of Belgium and Luxemburg they came not to take but to return what had been wrongly seized. When our forces marched into Germany they came not to prey on a brave and the defeated people but to nurture the seeds of democracy among those who yearn to be free again. We salute them today. This land is secure. We are free. These things are worth fighting and dying for.
