Every Memorial Day my family and I always do something that helps us remember the men and women that risk their lives for our freedom. This year we went to the Vietnam Memorial in Washington Park. What a great experience. Every year on Memorial Day they read the Oregon men that died in the Vietnam war. As the names were being read, you can see many Vietnam vets wiping tears from their eyes. My wife asked one of the vets if he knew anyone that died. He said no, but the guy next to him lost his brother.
It is a sobering reminder how much is risked then and now for our freedom. I am very thankful we live in such a great country.
