Honor those who sacrificed their all — and our living veterans
By Gen. James L. Jones, opinion contributor — 05/26/19 09:00 AM EDT
Across the nation, the Memorial Day weekend is considered the unofficial beginning of summer, the season of graduations and proms, and a welcome three-day holiday to spend with family and friends. Many Americans gather for events and activities, enjoying freedom and the privileges of a free society so frequently taken for granted.
With today’s many distractions it seems fair and fitting to ask: how many of us will devote proper time and attention to honoring the nation’s fallen? Every American should hope that none of us fails to reflect upon those who sacrificed their all, and to honor our living veterans in our own personal way.
