Remembrance

Over the years I think that a lot of people have forgotten the true meaning of Memorial Day. I know I had. In reality, it is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service. You can read about the history of the day here.

Today I will be remembering my friend Major Douglas A. Zembiec, the "Lion of Fallujah," killed in action in Iraq on May 11, 2007.

And today I also thank all the veterans and all the men and women currently serving our nation here and abroad.
