We appreciate our family members who have been in past years or who are now on alert to defend our land, as well as those who have gone abroad to preserve our freedoms. We remember those who returned home, their lives changed forever. We remember those who never returned home and extend our appreciation to their spouses, parents, and siblings who gave all they could give--a loved one. These family members made sacrifices by laboring to give us the freedoms we now enjoy.
