1st. Collaboration project with SimonSeville1500 for Memorial Day 2016. It's been great working with you, Sarge.

All too often around Memorial Day we tend to forget exactly why the holiday was created: to honor those American men and women who died during combat.

For most of citizens. It's maybe long weekends for those of us lucky to have the day off to grill, travel, visit with friends and family, and do whatever else we want on Memorial Day.
Given that it's also the traditional beginning of the summer season, there seems to be some confusion by the general public over what the holiday honors.

But in reality, Memorial Day is for the American troops who didn't get to come back home and drink a beer at a homecoming party or retire from their branch of service quietly, True Heroes those who can't return a smile or a salute, not to mention the families and friends who have been left behind.

They died in the field of combat and instead returned home under solemn circumstances, inside flag-draped coffins. When a Brave Warrior gives his life for this Country, he asks none but for one thing; that his casket be draped with the American Flag for the Country he loved so much that he willing gave his life for.

These fallen heroes represent the character of a nation who has a long history of patriotism and honor - and a nation who has fought many battles to keep our country free from threats of terror.

Veteran's Day and Armed Forces Day, by contrast, both honor those among us who have served or are still serving in the military. On those days -- and of course not just those days -- we reach out to vets and current military members and thank them for wearing the uniform and facing grave danger

Memorial that will always remind us that the price of freedom is not come for free.
Just because we don't have to pay for it, doesn't mean we don't have to care about it. For the family and belonging of the soldiers who live sacrifice their lives for their friend's, their loved ones. They have to pay all of it for us. And In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. The price that we have to pay
We may not know them all, but we owe them all.

Although, this day is for the fallen heroes. I want to take the time to also thank the heroes that are here today. Let them know they are appreciated for their service while they live. I didn't get to tell the others just how much I appreciate their valor and love for our country so that I may live the free life that I do. Thank you, all.

Special Thanks: Department of Veterans Affairs, Arlington National Cemetery, Jacksonville National Cemetery, United States Armed forces, US Department of Defense, US Department of State, USAA, USO, DPAA, Gold Star mothers community, and all of our beloved Veterans who had sacrifice themselves for our freedom and prosperity

Dedicated to friends, all fallen brothers, families, friend's
and to all of the warriors heading downrange in the future...
