By CHARLES A. (Gus) GUSTAFSON

Beginning with a little more than a ragtag army at Valley Forge, today America’s Military has been honed into the strongest fighting force in the world and the ultimate keeper of our liberties and freedoms.

Battlefield conditions have changed and the battle lines lack clarity, but America and our way of life remains under attack. Every day men and women answer our nation’s call to serve echoed from the memories of Lexington, Yorktown, New Orleans, Belleau Wood, Normandy, Iwo Jima, Midway, Chosin,Viet Nam, to Afghanistan and Iraq. 

America’s commitment to freedom was further forged into actions like the Berlin airlift and “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall”. These events happened due to our strengths not weaknesses.

Obscure locations known only to historians and military families are now forever stained with American blood keeping alive our Founding Father’s words of freedom and liberty that we must never forget. The strength and tradition of America’s Armed Forces ensures that their sacrifices will not be forgotten and our country’s cherished ideals will never be taken away.
