“All we have of freedom, all we use or know - This our fathers bought for us long and long ago. ” ~ Rudyard Kipling, The Old Issue, 1899
On this Memorial Day and every day, we are deeply indebted to the men and women who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. As no words can adequately express our gratitude, we pause for a moment of silence and salute these true American patriots and their families.
