A Tribute To Our Fallen Heroes

I want to acknowledge and remind all of us of the heroism and courage that our brave men & woman have demonstrated throughout the history of this great nation of ours.

I want to thank them for all of the greatness and achievements that this nation has accomplished if not for their acts of bravery. Lincoln's letter to the Bixby family in Nov of 1864 summarizes the grieve and loss many of our fallen heroes have evoked over the years.

I dedicate this to all of the mothers & fathers & their sons that died gloriously on the field of battle.

"I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save.
I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom."
Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,

Abraham Lincoln.
