Their sacrifice

I’d like to invite one and all to walk slowly through our Memorial Garden on the Street of Flags in Westport and read the names engraved on the walls there. All of them have served our nation in one or more branches of our armed services.

About dusk or early in the morning, listen closely for their voices calling out from their graves, asking, “Did we fight and die for nothing? Don’t our sacrifices mean anything?”

Remember, our freedoms have come with a terrible price.
