Over the summer, I woke up early one day to watch the sun rise at the Marine Corps Memorial. And then I spent that day visiting Arlington National Cemetery. Today, take some time and consider all that others have done (and continue to do) for our country so that we may be free. Today is the day for recognizing all servicemembers, whether deceased, retired or currently serving.
From the brutal winter of 1776 when a meager 2500 men, one-third of whom were barefoot and frostbitten, trekked through snow, and followed General George Washington across the Delaware River to surprise a well-trained Hessian Army, to our world today. So many have fought for my freedom, for your freedom, and made the ultimate sacrifice. “Victory or Death.”
Today. Remember.
