That longest day. That loss of precious lives. That ultimate sacrifice - made in one moment by those actually THERE as well as those who waited at home, keeping a vigil, hoping and praying against all odds for a loved one’s return and NOT neatly packaged in a box.

We MUST NEVER forget. NEVER. NOT EVER!!!
