Where does one begin saying "Thank You" to all those who have given everything so that we may have our freedom?
Photo: Steve Zenone (Golden Gate National Cemetery)"That from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion ... that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain."Walking through the cemetery, contemplating, I was in awe. Each tombstone not only represents a single serviceman/servicewoman. Rather, every tombstone also represents the family and friends whose lives were interwoven so intimately...in addition to the lives the family and friends touched. Clearly, we're all affected and connected.
-- Abraham Lincoln, spoken at Gettysburg in 1863
