View all 7 ReflectionsMost of society lives in a world that doesn’t recognize what gives them the comforts they live in. Because of you, and people like you, society can live that way.
You put the badge on to make the community a better place. You put the badge on for justice. You put the badge on to save life. You put the badge on for the principles it represents. The badges didn’t make you a hero, the badge was worn by a hero. On top of that, you served the Union in the defining war of our country. To your family, and the generations that followed, thank you for your service. Be proud of this man.
