Memorial Day

"They are dead; but they live in each Patriot’s breast,

And their names are engraven on honor’s bright crest."

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

 I hope y'all had a wonderful day with your families. My heart aches for the families of our heroes, that grieve and remember their loss. What a sacrifice. We remember their brave and selfless sons that gave their life for our country today. Not a lot of Americans are willing to fight and die defending something they believe in. I'm thankful for those that have, and pray our country would live up to that honor.

My favorite part of the Sailor's Creed has always been this: 

"...I represent the fighting spirit of the Navy and those who have gone before me to defend freedom and democracy around the world...."
