What Does The Future Hold?
We must not only recognize those who gave their lives to protect our freedom and way of life but also to rededicate ourselves to ensure that their sacrifice was not in vain. Each of us, no matter our position in life, has an obligation to ensure that those freedoms that they fought for, and we enjoy, are passed on to the next generation. Through our efforts, both great and small, we not only honor the memory of the fallen but also instill in our children the understanding that our freedom cannot be taken for granted. The examples we set will determine whether we will remain a free and open society.
