A Site Dedicated to Sharing & Remembering Our Incredible Heroes Who Sacrificed So Much to Allow Us to Experience the Greatest Privilege in the World: Freedom.

'As we entered combat I had a strange feeling. All my life, I felt secure, knowing the United States would protect me, but now it was reversed. The country was now depending on me to protect them. It was an awesome feeling, but I was not sure I could bear so much weight.'

-Anonymous Veteran, 351st Regiment, 88th Division in Italy
