On a late
morning, on July 25, 2012, while visiting family, we found ourselves in
Arlington National Cemetery, paying respect to the brave souls who gave their
lives for our American republic.
As we walked
these sacred grounds among seemingly endless grave markers, we came across the
ceremony of a solder being laid to rest with full honors.
Memorial Day is about remembrance -- the price
of freedom. We may not be a perfect country, but it beats the alternatives.
