I just heard the muffled cry from the spirit of the multitude of Soldiers, Marines, Airmen, Sailors, and all who have died in America's military service in the past. It was the spirit of all who have fallen to protecting and preserving the American values of Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness that we honor today. The cry was a look at the decline of the values for which they gave their life. A cry in disbelief as to how the democratic way of life they died for has been politicized and divided by the lack of respect for each other and our foreign neighbors. On this day of remembrance of their sacrifice, we all owe them a debt of gratitude, of that there is no doubt. But we also owe them a debt and vow of commitment to protecting the American way of life they gave all for that serves everyone regardless of their economic status, gender, race, religion, or politics. We are indebted to protect the virtues that brought this country to a height of greatness that is sorely threatened by division, greed, strife, and hatred. All of the veterans of every duty status out there, please offer not only a salute of respect to all of our brothers and sisters who have fallen but renew your commitment to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution to which we all swore an oath.
