In memory of all those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country, brothers and sisters in arms, families, and friends - we honor you today and always. Special mention of 1LT Thomas J Fiedlar, a USAF pilot who died in July 1965 after his aircraft engine caught fire over the Atlantic.

My husband is retired Marine Corps special operations Veteran. He lost a lot of friends in his years in Afghanistan. Two men in particular he holds quite dear to his heart. Because I had to give my full name and email address, I’m not going to mention their names. I don’t want to ask my husband if it’s OK because it will just trigger things....
