Those who put their lives on the line for their country deserve our support, admiration, and respect. Today we honor all soldiers past and present who have risked their lives for our country and the values of freedom and liberty we represent. We owe them a debt of gratitude no words can possibly express. " Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), in a Memorial Day letter to supporters.
