Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto is credited with saying, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.”

The terrible resolve that was seen was the determination to remain a country of free people who were willing to spill their own blood unreservedly.
America remains free because of heroes, individuals who have acted with honor, and integrity. Those who do the right thing even when it may mean death or injury,
American heroes.

After the September 11 attack patriotism abounded. Lifted us, gave us the ability to continue on.
Today there is division and dissent, because our leaders have failed to lead.
We need strong leadership.

A leader who is capable of having that terrible resolve, and standing where it’s necessary
To stand regardless of the people who would sell America out.

The American people need to know that the individuals guiding them are intelligent, know what honor is, and utilize wisdom.

Memorial Day is a time of remembering, it should be also a day of celebration, a day when heroes are lauded, Parades, marching bands, men and women in uniform.
Hero’s each and every one.

Today as I reflect on the sacrifices of the hero’s that have died to secure the freedoms I enjoy, I can only say Thank you and God Bless you for your courage.
