This, from Lt. Gen. John F. Kelly — whose son, 2nd Lt. Robert M. Kelly, died in Iraq in last year – is worth rereading.

Less than one percent of us serve.

Thank you to those who do. We give thanks for those who have made the sacrifice of their lives. To their sons and daughters missing dads, to the spouses, parents, siblings, family, and friends missing someone who has been died in service to us all … for our freedom.
