I’ve posted a similar photo in the past, but i think this is my favorite (completely unedited). Can you see the wall? I think this shows the sacrifice of those who have fallen that allows every one of us to see the reflections of our future. It shows how easy it is to forget, or look right past, all of the bloodshed, all of those who gave their all, and those who continue to serve on the front-lines protecting our rights to say and do the things we do each day. It’s a sad world where so many Americans exploit these very freedoms by disrespecting and dishonoring the foundation and lives on which this country was built.
Being a son of a Marine veteran, who served alongside those names you see, and a brother to a current Naval Officer, I’ve been privileged to grow up in a family and community that honors and respects our Veterans and military.
Today I want to thank both of them for all they have done, and continue to do, as well as every other veteran and active military individual for their sacrifices for our freedoms.
