While my Dad and my maternal Grandmother served our country, neither died whilst in service of our country. Today is a day to honor and remember those, and their loved ones, that made the ultimate sacrifice while serving and protecting our country, and the independence and freedom that was fought for before them. As we continue to evolve and fight new threats; whether ISIS, homegrown terrorists or the continued inequity in our own justice system, let’s remember those and their families that believed and ultimately sacrificed so that we may continue on.
