This man fought in battle for your freedom and my freedom. He was wounded and received the U.S. Marine's Purple Heart for his actions in battle. In WWII he fought in the most ferocious battles of the Pacific. He was in the storming invasion of the Island of Peleliu and the invasion of Okinawa and survived to fulfill a career founded in principles of the highest order and dedicated service to his fellow citizens.
It would leave me tongue tied and surely amiss if I attempted to recount in this missive all his actions and accomplishments. If you get to know this man through his Tweets, Emails, publications and published books; then, you, too, can stand amazed and regard this man with the esteem deserved.
Let us pause as we remember all those who have given their ultimate so that we may be free. Yet, we must have the courage to continue that struggle: be it outside or inside the greatest country the world has ever produced. Let us not be guilty of squandering the sacrifices made for our freedom.
