Dear Gambia-L Friends,
I was only three years old when my brother Don joined the military, and my two other brothers would follow within a few years.
I'm
proud of my brothers -- and I honor the courage, dedication, and
sacrifice of all our service members and their families on Memorial Day
and every day.
I
think when you grow up in a family with someone in the service, and
you're lucky enough to see everyone come home safely, Memorial Day has
special meaning.
You
understand what others have lost -- and you honor even more the
sacrifice and the service of those who fight for the country and all
those who love them.
I hope you and your family have a safe and happy Memorial Day.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth
