Every Memorial Day, we can and should remember all the brave Americans in uniform who have laid down their lives so that we can live in freedom. It's not just a three-day weekend. It's a time for remembrance. It's a time for thanksgiving, that our country still has young men who are willing to risk all in this world for the sake of their “friends.”
This year, I'd like to focus on one man: Maj. Douglas Zembiec, known to Marines as “the Lion of Fallujah.” And I want to thank Dan Morse of the Washington Post for his memorable tribute to Maj. Zembiec.
