There is an estimated 320 million people in the U.S. It would be impossible for 1sLt.Lorance to know even a small fraction of them. Yet voluntarily he put his life on the line for every single one of us asking nothing in return. Despite nine of his own platoon members testifying against him in exchange for immunity, 1st Lt.Lorance never wavered and continued to fight for whats right. As Americans it is our duty to fight for Lt. Lorances freedom with the same selfless dedication he fought for ours. To ignore his wrongful conviction and subsequent imprisonment is every bit if not more egregious than the fate 1sLt. Lorance has suffered at the hands of the very same people he has given his life both to protecting and doing whats right by. Tonight roughly 320 million people will go to sleep in the greatest nation in the world. Tomorrow roughly 320 will wake up in the greatest nation in the world. Every single one of us is able to do this because of the sacrifices made by 1st Lt Lorance and the dedicated members of our armed forces. Sadly, tonight the greatest country in the world will thank 1st Lt Lorance by allowing this HERO to continue to serve a twenty year sentence for doing what was right. I know my part is not nearly enough but tonight I will go to sleep in the greatest nation in the world knowing that I did something and hoping that it plays some part in doing whats right by our soldiers. Tomorrow I will wake up in the greatest country in the world and I can look myself in the mirror,I can look at my sons and I can tell them that I just as 1st LT Clint Lorance, did not turn my back and I did what is right. Tonight I wish to tell 1st Lt Lorance he will not be forgotten.
