A Day to Remember Others

Today I remember what you did.

These lists are men I know and knew of that served in combat. The first list are family members. Great Grandfather, great uncle , father-in-law, nephew, son. Their service stretches from the Civil War to Afghanistan and Iraq. None died in war, but two died after their service as a result of combat duty--Agent Orange and PTSD.

The second list is of students I taught. They served in Iraq and Afghanistan. One died and the others were wounded.

Thank you for your service, and I thank your families.
