Few are able to serve answer the call to serve our country. Yet those that do are dedicated, they are scared, they fulfill their duty and unfortunately, some pay the ultimate price.
Memorial Day is a federal holiday because we are honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice to secure our freedom. Our freedom to speak, our freedom to live and our freedom to thrive within the USA. However, freedom is not a birthright. Freedom is a hard fought struggle which has consumed our best and brightest many times over. But the call to serve our country has yet to go unanswered.
