Across the United States people will take time to worship, pray, visit decorated cemeteries and thus honor those who sacrificed their lives to preserve the liberty and freedoms we enjoy today. We also honor and express our gratitude to those who are currently serving, and at graduation time, we pray for those who will be entering the service in the coming months. We cannot forget those veterans who returned home maimed in body or mind and who now have to fight another battle to find a place in their families and society. Of late there has been outrage expressed at the neglect of these wounded warriors. We owe them our support, gratitude and any effort we can make to assure that they are given proper care.
Most veterans are reticent to speak about their experiences, saying merely that they had a "job to do" and now that it's over, they want to get on with life. Occasionally tales of valor and courage appear in books or on the silver screen, giving us a glimpse of the terrors these young soldiers in their late teens and early twenties faced. We cannot thank them enough; we owe them a debt that cannot be repaid. May we never forget them or ignore them as we complacently enjoy the fruits of their sacrifices.
