In Honor of the Fallen
We remember the brave souls — our brothers and sisters — who answered the call and never came home. Military heroes, first responders, protectors of peace and life. Their names may be too many to list, but not one is lost to memory. We carry their stories, their sacrifice, and their spirit with us every single day. They gave everything. We owe them everything. They may be gone, but they will never be forgotten.

To Those Names Above Us
May you rest peacefully. I know so many of you felt you could have done more — but I promise, you did more than enough. You paved the way for our peace, our country, and, most of all, our freedom. We wouldn’t live in the greatest country on earth if it weren’t for you.
You showed us the way. You set the standard. You guided us to carry the torch, so we might one day pass it to the next generation. It’s your sacrifice, your courage, and your love that remind us how deeply a small, committed group of true Americans can shape the future.
We have the watch now, my dear brothers and sisters. Rest easy. Enjoy your next adventure, and watch over us from above. We love you. We miss you. And we will never, ever forget you.
— John Williams
