Luxembourg Cemetery

"All who shall hereafter live in freedom will be reminded that to these men and their comrades we owe a debt to be paid with grateful rememberance of their sacrifice and with the high resolve that the cause for which they died shall live eternally." ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower


Once a friend of mine approached my brother, an Air Force SERE instructor, and thanked him for his service to our country. Without pause he replied, "Thank you for being worth fighting for."  It struck me profoundly that the highest tribute which can be paid to veterans who have willingly risked or given their lives to protect our freedom is to live a life worthy of their sacrifice.
