Holly and I have just left the first of several events that we will attend this weekend to memorialize the fallen. We continue in our plans, with a small group of opinion journalists dedicated to the truth, to put together our impending journey to personally visit and thank our troops and report back to you from the heart of the War to ensure freedom and liberty not only for America, but for those who have only just gotten their first taste.

As you enjoy your long holiday weekend, as we will ours, please remember that this is not just another day off. Remember the fallen, and their loved ones in your prayers. They have fulfilled their duty, now we must fulfill our obligation.
