Dear Friend:
Today I joined thousands of others from San Diego
and visited those whom we love and remember at Fort
Rosecrans National Cemetery.
 My
wife Sally, along with my mother Ruth stopped to
visit my father’s resting place as we paid tribute
to him and gave thanks for our heroes – the men and
women of the United States Armed Forces who
sacrificed their tomorrows for us.
 As
the sun sets on this Memorial Day 2007, all of us
can say “Thank You” to these defenders of freedom
and their families. On this Day of Memory, we give
thanks and mourn the brave citizens who laid their
lives down for our freedom. They lived and died as
Americans. May we always honor them.
 A
friend sent me a video on YouTube I had to share.
Now watched by over 8.5 million, it reminded me of
how we must always be faithful to those who are
fighting for our freedom and those before us who
made the ultimate sacrifice so we can live free. To
them, I say thanks. And to you, I encourage you to
please watch this short video, produced by 15
year-old Lizzie Palmer to remind us of how special
those are whom we honored today.

For some computers, you can click here and watch it
