The Mystery of the Unknown Soldiers

As I attended the annual Memorial Day ceremony today and listened to the reading of the names of area soldiers who died this past year, I couldn't help thinking of mysteries solved and unsolved. Many paid the ultimate sacrifice, yet their identities are still unknown.

It's a shame these Unknown Soldiers can't be individually recognized for their gift to us.

Without them, we would not enjoy the precious freedoms we enjoy today.

Yes, we owe them a great deal as well as their families, who suffered their losses.

Kudos, Morgan, and well said. We owe them a debt we can never repay.

It's so easy to take our freedom for granted, but days like Memorial Day remind us not to do that.
