This is the day to honor the American soldier and the freedoms they protect.

Every memorial day I watch the celebrations and tributes for our great men and women in uniform. The heartbreaking stories of soldiers that have suffered disfiguring burns, loss of arms and legs, total incapacitation or even death to protect our freedoms and give freedom to others, are emotionally overwhelming. In interview after interview, our severely injured men and women express their love of life and show no bitterness to the ones they gave up so much for and, at the same time, express remorse for the innocent lives that were lost in the search of a more peaceful world. They clearly define why the cause of freedom is just.

The conduct and strength of our soldiers should above all make one undeniable statement. We live in a complex and brutal world where the thugs of totalitarian regimes will torture, brutalize and rape their slaves while using the same ruthless tactics on the citizens and soldiers of the free world that come to their aid. We should take note that the enemies of a free world do not regret any loss of life and could not achieve a greater hate for freedom or a greater disrespect for their own people….regardless of any actions we take to defend ourselves and others.


The absolute power of totalitarians is a true evil and is not a moral equivalent to the hope and dreams sought by free societies.

Our totalitarian enemies do not want our way of life and freedom….they want to end it by destroying us!

We have to fight evil because it is there….not because we created it!

We should stand tall and proud today for the men and women who fight for a free world!
