To all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and have given the last full measure:
We owe a debt of gratitude beyond measure for your service to this country; to your belief in the ideal that all men are created equal and that freedom must ring throughout the world. Our lives today are a testament to your sacrifice. Your bravery, dedication, and diligence secured for us a greater America. You forsook comfort, security, and family to defend and blaze a trail of freedom. You were called by an era to become more than you thought you could be. Many of you viewed British fleets. Some of you saw the barrels of German tanks. Others have faced hidden guerillas and terrorists. You have all looked into the eyes of evil and not blinked. You stood in formation, jumped in fox holes, forded jungles, and walked streets, creating a climate of cooperation for the common good to sustain our freedom.
Your selflessness may have cost you your life, but it endures today, a beacon continuously lighting the way to hope; hope for peace, hope for harmony, hope for something better. Hope! All Americans and freedom-loving people around the globe keep your memory alive. The spark ignited 231 years ago lives today. You instill pride. You inspire honor. You encourage valor. May we never forget or ignore you, allowing the flame to extinguish. May we all recognize our own required sacrifice to carry on what began and has continued in you. We all should serve such.
Thank you for your service!

OK...16 days is long enough without a blog update.
Well I sure hope the troops are more diligent in defending our country than you are updating your blog! Jeesh!
This blog has been in deployment longer than the troops in Iraq! HELLO? Craig are you stuck in the tree again?
Maybe he is in the hospital from trying to scale another fence because he's "still got it."
Maybe he is only blogging on national holidays now. Perhaps we can expect a blog update on July 4th.
Craig did you forget to pay your internet bill? Do you need me and John to maintain it for you? I know your not at a Reds game! THEIR NOT WORTH SEEING RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!
No he might write on The 24th. It's ST. Jean Baptiste day in Quebec!
