#MemorialDay #Repost @thejointstaff with @get_repost ・・・ Honoring our Fallen 🇺🇸 . “This Memorial Day, we pause to honor the more than one million Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice since the founding of our nation. We remember their courage. We remember their selfless service and we remember how they lived. . As we mark the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, we are especially mindful of the more the 400,000 Americans who gave their last full measure of devotion to ensure that this republic, for which we stand, shall never perish from the Earth. . Since then, over 100,000 more brave Americans gave their lives across the hills of Korea, the jungles of Vietnam and the sands of the Middle East. Over a million and half sustained physical wounds and even more carry the invisible wounds of war. . Today we honor the extra ordinary sacrifice of not only these service members, but also their families--especially our Gold Star families. Each individual loss brings untold grief. Each loss is a hope never realized. Each loss is a dream never reached. Every one was a son or a daughter. A husband or a wife. A mother or a father. Each is a gaping hole of grief that can never be adequately filled. For the families of the fallen we are here to remember that for them every day is Memorial Day. . So today, we collectively renew our vow to always remember the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen that paid in blood for the freedoms that we all enjoy everyday. . On behalf of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and all of us service men and women, thank you. Thank each of you for remembering.” .
