A Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Airman is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to the United States of America for an amount up to, and including, their life. That is an honor, and there are way too manypeople in this country today who no longer understand that fact. This is why today we need to make sure we don't forget their sacrifices and their family's sacrifices. Specially for those who paid the ultimate price.
