Today is Memorial Day, an American holiday, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. It was originally known as Decoration Day. The origins of it came years following the Civil War and only became an official federal holiday in 1971.
This practice of honoring those who have fallen in battle dates back to the ancient Greeks and Romans who held annual days of remembrance for loved ones which included the soldiers. The first known public tributes to war dead was in 431 BC, when Pericles, an Athenian general and statesman, delivered a funeral speech praising the sacrifice and valor of those killed in the Peloponnesian War.
Each of us as citizens of the planet earth have to hold our elected officials accountable from taking our rights away and becoming tyrants causing pain to us and our neighbors and thus avoiding the sacrifices of our brave soldiers.

You remind me of Neal Whitten's words: "If it is to be, it is up to me."
Well said , that should’ve been a written speech for the president.
