I hope many Americans, and indeed, people worldwide, saw the coverage this afternoon of the Dedication of the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C.. It was very moving and joyous and, of course, long overdue. Once again I am reminded that freedom and the American way of life comes at a high price, and I am humbled by those who have given so much.
My dad, who was wounded in WWII, has declined rapidly in health this year. I called him up to make sure he was aware of this ceremony today; I don't know if he was well enough to watch, but I am very thankful that he has lived to see this day.
God bless all who have served, and who serve today.

It took a long time for us, as a country, to realize what we owe the WWII veterans and all veterans that worked to keep us free. We should never be allowed to forget even a single soldier.
