When a servicemember lays down his or her life in defense of the people and ideals they value most, it is the ultimate act of faith and sacrifice. They will never see the finished product of their work, and they will never reap the rewards of their selfless dedication to their Nation. But in dying for that cause, they do so with the faith that our Nation will thrive for centuries to come. If nothing else, Memorial Day is an opportunity to reflect upon that – to remember that the sacrifice of a few is what has propelled our Nation toward greatness since its inception. While Memorial Day is a natural time to be aware of this, it is not the only time. The valor of those who died protecting our freedoms is something that is always worthy of our deepest admiration.
