This Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, their courage and service will never be forgotten.

"The greatest fighting force the world has ever known is built upon the extraordinary service of selfless men and women who safeguard our liberty and preserve our way of life. Since the birth of our Nation nearly 250 years ago, countless souls have lost their lives in this noble and righteous pursuit. On Memorial Day, we honor these American heroes." — The White House
