Memorial Day, 2012. We remember - today - and always. We remember the fallen; we remember the cause for which they fell; we remember the flag under which they fought.
From the shores of Tripoli to the sands of Iwo Jima, from the bloody beaches of Europe to the frozen Chosin in Korea, from the steamy jungles of Vietnam to the desert sands of Iraq and dens of Afghanistan - we remember. Yes, we remember the American fighting men and women who fought, who bled, yea, who died in defense of freedom so that we, today, may wave the flag from sea to shining sea.
To our war dead - you are not forgotten and your sacrifice not dimished. We rise today - and every day - to salute and honor your service and your memory. It is because of you that we may celebrate a Happy Memorial Day.
