For Love of Country They Accepted Death

"A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself." This is what today should be all about.


Today we can each find a moment to remember and thank someone who gave the rest of their lives for us.

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty."
