For those who didn’t return

Please take a moment today and pray for the families and loved ones of our fallen veterans. Without their sacrifices, our country would not be what it is today.

Yes, I frequently bitch about it, but this is still the greatest nation in history, warts and all. We should remember those who have given their lives so that we may live free. If there is a Valhalla, may they be there now.

“The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.”

–Abraham Lincoln, March 4, 1861
