"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we shoukd thank God that such men lived." - George S. Patton To all who have lost or knows someone who served, I join you on this day to remember our heros who bravely gave their life to preserve our freedom. It is our responsibility to never forget nor take for granted what was gifted to us. Thank you all.

Lost my 20 year old son in Iraq in 2005. The "two lives" part got me. So true. My son seemed wise from the time he was a child, but we missed the best part, I'm afraid. He once wrote: "Given a choice and an opportunity, I'd gladly do my part to "restructure" the commercial institutions that poison the society whose flag will one day be draped over my coffin. [/rant]" "

My grandfather fought in Korea, what's known as the forgotten war. When he told me what he went through I did not see it as the forgotten war, but as the forgotten victory.

To my father Kenneth Edward Roulette,born 4/4/21 died 4/4/97 very quiet deep thinking man,the very best father you could ever ever ask for,spoke very little about the war,only said how much he missed his fellow soldiers ,never said a word about what he did or saw in the war,after he died we found his military records,after researching we found out he was awarded the Purple Heart,numerous battle participation medals and of all things the Silver Star ,he was involved in some of the bloodiest battles in the South Pacific,we also found out he threw his silver star in a river in Tennessee after he found his best friend was killed in combat,my dad never mentioned any of this to his family,after all this he’d been he was so kind and gentle absolutely hated violence.til we meet again dad we all miss and love you so much.
