The ceremony dedicating the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in
Washington D.C.
Arlington National Cemetary at Christmas
The above photos represent the thousands of men and women who wrote a blank check, made payable to the citizens of America and her founding ideals, for an amount that has and continues to require their lives, blood, and sacrifice.
Those checks continue to be cashed throughout America’s history with the proceeds deposited in National Cemetaries around the country and around the world.
The Oath to support and defend the
United States Constitution by all our brave Military
Service men and women is essentially a blank check, made
payable to the citizens of America, for an amount
requiring their blood and up to including their lives.
Those checks were cashed and the
proceeds deposited under the above headstones both in foreign
lands and within dozens of US National
Cemeteries.
Lest We Forget, those souls
were our sons and daughters; they were our fathers and
mothers; they were our brothers and sisters; they are all
family and friends who have bled, died and sacrificed in
the past and continue to so for their Country and loved
ones.
