Just a reminder that this is the day we remember those who have died in the service of their country. Here is a link with a list of the men and women who have died in our most recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan:

Faces of the Fallen

Here is a youtube link to a Fox News clip showing President Bush awarding the medal of honor to the parents of Lt. Michael Murphy, the first medal of honor recipient in Afghanistan. Murphy was a Navy Seal that gave his life on June 28, 2005 in the remote mountains of Afghanistan.

Every one of these men and women have mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, husbands, wives or children. They are friends and neighbors. It does not matter what we think about the wars our country fights or the politics. These men and women have given their all. Let's remember and be thankful for the freedom that we have and never forget the cost of freedom.
