“The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive the Veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation.” President George Washington

Today we pause to honor the men and women of the United States Army, United States Marines Corps, United States Navy, United States Coast Guard, and the United States Air Force. Your sacrifice, valor and courage is not forgotten.
