I am on the mailing list to receive notifications of casualties in our military. I receive them too often. I am going to share the last few not because they are any different from previous ones, but because these people gave their lives for our freedom. Many of us will party tonight; please don’t forget those that made it possible. They are not just names, ranks, home towns, and ages too young. They are our brothers, sisters, kids, and parents. They are the aunts and uncles we never forgot but never got to know.
Pray for the families they have left behind and their comrades still fighting for us.
