Agreed, but fortunately not all patriots must make that ultimate sacrifice. Hundreds of thousands volunteer to keep our nation safe at home and abroad not for fame or fortune, but because they feel the need to serve the higher good. They are patriots one and all. You are so right; we shouldn't need a reminder of the fallen sacrifice. As a retired military man, I and all the vets I know, do what we can to keep their memory alive. Thanks again for all you do here, and "out there".
