Remember...

I try to take out a few minutes this weekend every year to think about the folks that have made the ultimate sacrifice. I really can't wait for the day when I go to Wikipedia and there is an entry that says something like 'John or Jane Doe was the final American soldier to die in the line of duty during wartime'. Maybe human nature and war go hand in hand, but I hope for a better day while honoring those who gave everything. Those people who won't ever again get a chance play with their kids or visit with family and friends. Activities that I will enjoy this weekend thanks to their priceless gift to the people of the United States.
