With America at the cusp of ending its longest wars in the history of this great nation, it reminds us of the human cost of achieving its objectives, at home and on the battlefield.
Millions of American soldiers have been killed throughout our nation's history, most of the time thousands of miles away from home.
Some will tell you they died fighting for their brothers in arms, and others will tell you they died to protect the freedom we hold so dear.
No matter the reason, they have laid down their lives trying to make the United States a safer place.
We salute all who have fallen, and the families that carry on.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.”
-George S. Patton
