To those who laid down their lives for our freedom—we remember you, we honor you 🇺🇸

I am the fallen soldier, sailor, airman, and marine. Remember [Music] me. I am the one that held the line. Sometimes I volunteered. Sometimes I went because I was told to go. But when the nation called, I answered. In World War I, I marched on the MN and held the line at Bella Wood. The war to end all wars, they called it. I just called it hell. In World War II, I fought everywhere. The beaches of Normandy, the Battle of the Bulge, the hell of Guadal Canal. I stood against tyranny and kept darkness from consuming the world. In Korea, I landed in Inchan and broke out of the chosen reservoir. They called it the forgotten war, but I never forgot. In Vietnam, I fought in the Meong Delta at Kong and Hamburger Hill. Some say my country wavered, but I did not waver. I have fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, in Baghdad, Fallujah, and Ramani, in Kunar, Helmond, and Kandahar. It was me that patrolled up the mountains or across the desert or through the streets. It was me that suffered in merciless heat and bitter cold. It was me that went out night after night to confront our nation's enemies and confront evil face to face. I did not waver and I did not hesitate. I, the soldier, sailor, airman or marine, I stood my ground and sacrificed my life, my future, my hopes, my dreams. I sacrificed everything for you. This Memorial Day, remember me, the fallen warrior. And remember me, not for my sake, but for yours. Remember what I sacrificed so you can truly appreciate the incredible treasures you have. Life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness. You have the joys of life. The joys that I gave up so that you can relish in them. [Music]
