What starts out as slight memory loss eventually leads to disappearing personalities and then no recollection of the people and memories that filled an individual’s life. I remember how painful it was to see that happen to my own father during the last several years of his life.

As Americans, we have the privilege of living in the greatest, safest and freest country in the world. But the peace of mind that we share is the result of the sacrifice and selfless service of those in our nation’s military. The price these brave individuals have paid in service is a debt that can never be fully repaid. No matter what year it is or the nature of our circumstances, the service they provide never loses its significance or relevance to preserving freedom.
