Thank you to all Veterans for your sacrifices, especially those who gave "...the last full measure of devotion." as Lincoln said in his Gettysburg Address.
My father served in the US Navy aboard the USS Oberon AKA-14 in World War II and my Uncle Lt. John L. Socha 28th Infantry Division was KIA 16 September 1944 near Aachen, Germany during the Battle of the Hurtgen Forest. We honored both their service and Uncle John's supreme sacrifce as the National World War II Memorial was being built:
