Memory

Life after death. Heaven. Hell. Unknowns.

Those who lived, fought, protected, and died before us are the only ones who can answer the really big questions. The rest of us are left with the memories of who they were or what they did. It is our ability to document our histories as a species that give us a chance to progress as a species.

Today we honor those who served in our armed forces; especially those who gave their lives to allow us to go forward under the laws and traditions of free people. We preserve their histories because they protected ours.
