For every service member who took the one-way trip. For every military member who offered their lives as tribute to the life, liberty and freedom of the Nation. For all the ones who paid the ultimate price. This day is for you, in honor of what you dearly gave, and we can never repay.
We are humbly and eternally thankful. And we always will be. — HJT
