You are the men and women, who for years have battled in trenches to protect the rights and freedoms that we as a nation hold dear. There were times when the people whose liberty you were fighting to protect did not appreciate your sacrifices. Little did they know you were dying for them. How many Christmas holidays, Thanksgivings, Birthdays, Anniversary's were spent in the jungles and deserts fighting to keep our home safe? This nation and its people can never repay you, and your families for the great sacrifices that you have made. The pain and heartache can still be seen in your eyes. So to every soldier who has ganered a weapon in the face of oppression and tyranny, for every soldier who has died in battle, and for every soldier who is still tormented by the nightmares of war,I just want you to know that this nation and its people will never forget you, and are indebted to you.
