This tribute is dedicated to all those men and women who, over the last 2 centuries, have answered their countries call to defend the freedoms and the way of life we all now enjoy. Their efforts and sacrifices has made this great country the model to all freedom loving people in the world. God grant that we will always have enough of those individuals that put these beliefs above all else. We must always extend the hand of friendship to all people everywhere. By freely giving to others our greatest possessions of freedom, justice, and the basic principles of human rights, we will insure that we will always have them ourselves. I pray God will continue to shed his grace on this great country.God bless our military and their families.
