Keeping the memories honored – Memorial Day

Back in 2005, I had the opportunity to join veteran’s from the 62nd Combat Tracker Infantry Platoon members as they gathered together at ‘The Wall’ in Washington, D.C. Each of these men had served with someone whose name is on that wall. For these men who were so brave in the face of combat, spending time at the wall with their memories and the thoughts of their KIA friends’ names was difficult for many.

As we move towards Memorial Day this year, please keep in mind the reason behind this national holiday is to honor military men and women who died while in active service to this country. Spend some time on Memorial Day remembering thier sacrifices, honoring their memories and supporting their causes.

If some of you need a link to a nearby National Cemetery, please use this link below to find any cemeteries in your state/local area.
