On Memorial Day, we will honor those who sacrificed their lives in service to our country. As we remember those who have worn our nation’s uniform, I want each and everyone one of you to understand what an integral part you play in your unit, the Army, and our country. You are to be commended for volunteering to serve during this time of war. We have all lost friends, colleagues, and battle buddies in combat. We don’t need to lose them in a careless holiday accident.
