A fitting tribute to the fallen

BLACKFIVE: Opening the Gates of Heaven

I've lost three good friends during the War on Terror. And I write about the others to ensure that we don't forget their sacrifices - I do that for me as much as for anybody.
...
It's important to remember them, and it's just as important to enjoy yourself this weekend. To spend time with your family and friends.
...
What better assurance to them they did not die in vain?

Enjoying your freedom and understanding it's value is the best way to honor the sacrifices of my friends.

That's the way they'd want you to spend Memorial Day.

Remembering them, and being a good dad and husband and an American is the best way that I can honor their memory.
