This Memorial Day we, as we should ever day, honor and give thanks to 
these men, and all other Soldiers, Marines, Sailors and Airmen who have 
given their lives in service to our country. We mourn their loss, and 
we offer prayers to their families. God bless our service members and 
their families.
