Last week I was watching a YouTube video where widows of service members were being brought together to make new friendships and heal. The Gary Sinise Foundation hosted their visit to Los Angeles, California.
One widow voiced the pain of all families and friends of fallen service members: their worst fear is their loved ones will be forgotten.
That is why this Memorial Day, pause and take time to remember, reflect, and respect the sacrifice of those who gave all when asked to by our country. This holiday is to show these families we will not forget their loss and their loved ones service, whether man, woman, or military working animal.
Let us also remember the families who still don’t have answers about the fate of their missing loved ones.
World War II 72,719
Korean War 7,661
Vietnam War 1,589
Cold War 126
Gulf Wars 5
El Dorado Canyon 1
Enjoy the holiday weekend, be safe, and never forget.
Thank you for the reminder and thank you for your service.
Poignant. Thank you, Kim.
