Wars are terrible but there's no denying that soldiers who lay down their lives are brave souls who believe in the ideal of Patriotism with all their hearts. It takes guts to fight for a cause and to risk your life to protect others. Thanks for giving a glimpse into history.

As with many things in life there is so much to the story. This is a story of faith, resolution, brotherhood and conviction. A belief in a better tomorrow. These men fought for freedom and dignity. There is great honor in earning the respect of others who may at one time have felt them to be unworthy of equality. They proved they were worthy and so much more.
