Memorial Day – Today
recognizes those who served, but never took off their uniform, never left the battlefield or returned home only to find the battlefield never left them.
“We who served made a vow to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic… and to bear true faith and allegiance to the same… So help us God.
Master Sergeant j.o. Batten
