True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic.
It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost,
but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.
Arthur Ashe

Sign the petition to restore the traditional day of observance for Memorial Day

"On Memorial Day we need to stop and pay with sincere conviction our
respects for those who died protecting and preserving the freedoms we
enjoy, for we owe those honored dead more than we can ever repay."

Please pause for a moment in your day today at 3pm to pay respect to our fallen but not forgotten heroes.

A sincere thank you to all of those who stood up to do their duty for their country. I salute you and the families who've stood by and supported you. Everyone overseas now - thank you and God bless -
I wish for you all to come home, every last one of you.
