Punchbowl Cemetery in Oahu.

Punchbowl is one of the most pleasant places I've ever been. A fitting resting spot for heroes.

Gettysburg.

WWII Memorial in Washington DC. Each star on that wall represents 100 Americans lost in combat. There's over 4,000 of them.

To me it was also a very humbling experience to be there.

It's hard not to watch this and not feel the pride of having the finest soldiers in the world

Memory to be given on my part... Memories to the bravery, courage, and unselfishness to all those involved and impacted ! True legends! AMERICA BABY

While I may disagree with the politics that put American kids in harm's way, I support implicitly the soldier on the ground, veterans when they come home, and the families of those bearing the loss of those who didn't. Bless 'em all for taking the risk and/or paying the price, despite fears, doubt and questions.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends"

Thank you to all of our soldiers who have laid down their lives for us that we may live in freedom.

Thanks to all who have served and fought the enemies of democracy to preserve our way of life.

I salute you.
