"All who shall hereafter live in freedom will be here reminded that to these men and their comrades we owe a debt to be paid with grateful remembrance of their sacrifice and with the high resolve that the cause for which they died shall live eternally."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower
This week, my family and I visited the Luxembourg American Cemetery and Memorial. To say it was a nice, fun trip would be off. It was a nice trip and it was great to be with family but there was a certain mood to this trip that wasn't all happy. Seeing the graves of all these soldiers (some super young) really puts things into perspective when it comes to war and freedom. Freedom really isn't free. I think it's important to remember that. There are people fighting for the things many of us take for granted everyday. I think we should maybe ponder on that once in a while and show our respect for the men and women in uniform. They give so much.
