Even though it’s passed Memorial Day, many patriotic Americans continue to support our troops day in and day out. I was recently clicking around the conservative blog world when I came across this picture, displayed by the official San Antonio, Texas website:

Generations of Valor

Pearl Harbor survivor Houston James of Dallas is overcome with emotion as he embraces Marine Staff Sgt. Mark Graunke Jr. during the Dallas Veterans Day Commemoration at Dallas City Hall on Thursday. Sgt Graunke, who was a member of a Marine ordnance-disposal team, lost a hand, leg and eye while defusing a bomb in Iraq in July of last year.

Even though it’s not Memorial Day or Veteran’s Day or any other holiday honoring our fallen brothers and fellow veterans, let us remember our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines in this time of war. Their country has called for their service in this trying time in American and world history. Let us not forget their sacrifices or the honor they deserve.
