Randy Altschuler's Blog: Reflections on Memorial Day

Randy Altschuler: "In a nation that stands for freedom, we, as a people, must never forget those who paid the ultimate price so we could be free. Two hundred and thirty four years ago this August, the Battle of Long Island took place and over three hundred patriots died fighting for a nation that was not even two months old. Their sacrifice has been repeated countless times in places with names like Guadalcanal, the Mekong Delta, and Fallujah. This Memorial Day as we sit at the beach, watch a ballgame, or barbeque with family or friends, we should take a few minutes to reflect on those Americans who, with above average courage, have fought and died so we can be free. Their love for this country should only be surpassed by the love and respect that we, as a nation, have for them."
