To those that valiantly risk or give their lives in service of this great country, we dedicate this day in humble remembrance. My grandfather was the most fearless man I've ever known. He fought in 3 wars, or 1 war and two 'conflicts', and loved and protected his country, his family, and himself. He was one of the few who fought for the rights of black soldiers long before the term 'equal opportunity' was coined. It was around the time that 'separate but equal' was considered progressive. I'll be visiting his grave site later today to pay my respects.
I look forward to reading the thoughts of our brave men and women in service.
