Army Post Road

     Today is the day we remember, commiserate about, and mourn for all the men and women who have come before us and sacrificed their life and limbs in the defense of our nation and union. Many have died with long stories of valor and honor. Many others have died in relative anonymity. They all left their families to meet their nation’s call to arms and gave the last full measure of devotion to the same. Whether those sacrifies were made here on our own soil or at points across the globe, it is all the same. Many of those men and women were brought home to find their final resting place either amongst their fellow professionals-in-arms or in the soil of their kin yet many others lay in the countries where they died defending liberty and freedom and others still lay where they were slain. No matter where their bodies lay and no matter where we are, their sacrifices will be remembered and cherished. Their gifts to us will never be taken for granted and may they never be forgotten.
