Hopefully every American will pause today to think of those killed in the wars and also of those young men and women who have been so grievously wounded that had they suffered those injuries in any of our previous conflicts would also have been among the dead. They may be alive, but they can never fully experience the joys of life with half their bodies missing.
I believe that perhaps the best way to honor these heroes and heroines is to resolve, going forward, to do everything humanly possible to prevent any more of today’s young people, our children, from having to be remembered in this way.
