Personal note:

These are all good remarks but in our hearts those we've lost are still heart-breaking when we think of them. I ponder these lost souls who died for their Country and each day I do something (regardless what it is) - and even though the things I do - get repetitive - I always think about those guys/gals who never got the opportunities to live their lives, raise their kids - and this makes me stronger.

They know how I feel. "I will not to forget their sacrifices." This is what all Veteran's feel and what makes all of us push forward each day - to do the very best we can at all times. We owe them nothing less than our very best. Boats
