Today, we remember the lives lost and those who have served. Veterans Day in the United States honors those who have served their country in the military. In the Commonwealth of Nations of Britain, including Canada, Remembrance Day honors those whose lives have been lost in defending their nation. In both observances, it’s the recognition of the sacrifice of oneself for freedom and for the ones they love.
Today veterans who have served in the armed forces of the United States and the Commonwealth of Nations are being remembered and honored. For any man or woman who wore a uniform of service may you always feel the gratitude of your countrymen and women. Your sacrifice means a lot. Thank you for everything.
Today in the United States we remember those who have given their lives in the defense of this country. Many who have gone into battle did not come home. Giving ones life is the ultimate sacrifice. Those who wear the uniform of their country are to be respected and honored because they are going into harms way. Many families mourn those who died on the battlefield and may they be comforted. May their loved ones and friends be remembered on this and every day.
To those heroes who wore dog tags a uniform and combat boots your service is appreciated today and everyday. Thank you.

Thank’s to the President and the White House for making this happen to honor the four Marines and one Sailor killed last Thursday in Chattanooga. A very fitting tribute.
These are the United States Marines who were killed in Chattanooga, TN yesterday. Thomas Sullivan, Skip Wells, Carson Holmquist, and David Wyatt gave their lives to the service of their country. Semper Fi to these men and to all Marines past, present and future.
