President Bush is marking this Memorial Day weekend with words honoring men and women who have died in the nation's service to provide freedom for Americans today. "Our citizens live in freedom because patriots are willing to serve and sacrifice for our liberty," Mr. Bush said Saturday in his weekly radio address. On Monday, he will lay a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery to pay tribute to those he said made the ultimate sacrifice. He noted that this year marks the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II, a victory for freedom in which more than 400,000 Americans gave their lives.

The United States of America can take great pride in honoring the memory of those who died in time of war to defend freedom and liberty. From the time of the American Revolution to the Civil War. From World War I and II and Korea and Viet Nam and now Iraq.... young American patriots have made the ultimate sacrifice for America and freedom.

Abraham Lincoln said:
"...that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom; and that this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." ( Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, November 19, 1863. )

As a Canadian I salute the memory of those who have served America. God bless them and may God bless America.
