The Last Full Measure of Devotion

If that God-given freedom does not burn in your heart every hour, then you have not tasted freedom.
Your chest has not burned, your heart has not sent prayer to Liberty, you have not embraced the opportunity to go your way.
Taste that, for it is your only meaningful legacy, dead or alive.
Give that to your wife, your child, and their children.
And by the Love of Christ, let them know from which this gift has come.

Very well said my brothers. From one who was lucky enough to come home to those unfortunate enough to have made the ultimate sacrifice; You will always have my undying respect, love, honor, and devotion to preserving your memory and the cause for which that sacrifice was made.
