For those who serve.

You stood shoulder to shoulder at Bunker Hill and Yorktown, followed Andrew Jackson to New Orleans, charged up San Jaun Hill with Teddy Roosevelt, flew in the skies of France with Eddie Rickenbacker and slept in the trenches with Sgt. Alvin York. You stormed the beaches at Guadalcanal, Sicily and Normandy, fought bravely at Antwerp, Iwo Jima, El Alamein, Monte Cassino and Midway. You left your mark on places named Heartbreak Ridge and Pork Chop HIll, then went to the Ia Drang Valley and Khe Sanh, Bosnia, Kabul, Kandahar, Al Busayyah and Fallujah. I don't know your name or much about you, but I thank you and all those that served with you.
