Why Waiting Too Long Is A Problem?
We usually appear to be waiting. We hold off on telling our soldiers, their communities, and the people we love what matters. Ask anyone who has lost one, and you’ll notice the same sour regret: I wish I could have had one more exchange, one more moment, one more bless you.

And the design is painfully common when it comes to our troops. After their departure, we parade our men. Instead of sending treatment plans to camp, we send flowers to tombs. After the names have been carved into rock, we can recall their names.
But if respect is to be taken seriously, it must come while they are still present among us.  ,
This raise our eye to the existing traditions who are still beside us as we bow our heads for the fallen this Memorial Day.
The 442nd Regimental Combat Team: Loyalty When None Was Given
Some American courage stories are more heartbreaking than those of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team. These men, who are primarily second-generation Asian Americans, were denied their respect by their own state. Behind barbed wire, their people were housed in detention camps.
They continued to raise their arms in service.  ,
Not for clapping, glory, or state, but for process, they fought in France, Italy, and Germany.
The 442nd , 211 Texans, was ordered to rescue in the Vosges Mountains in October 1944, close to Biffontaine, France.  ,
The wind was awful.  ,
The jungle is dense.  ,
The Germans were strong.
Firm I set off the press with 185 males. Just eight people made it out unharmed. K Company began with 186. There were still 17 more. Therefore, a flanking power of 55 men was dispatched behind enemy ranges. Five people came back. The others were taken, and they spent the remainder of the conflict in POW tents.
And still they prevailed.  ,
They succeeded.  ,

They saved the 211, though.
One-Armed Patriot and Full-Hearted Statesman Daniel Inouye
Daniel Inouye, who was charged after taking a bomb blast that shredded his right shoulder, was one of the 442nd. He pulled the exist weapon from his own sluggish fingers, tucked it under the tree, and continued to fire with his left hand.  ,
He later served as a U.S. legislator, serving with integrity and commitment for a long time.  ,
He always addressed his courage in remarks.  ,
He merely delivered.
The Little Texan Who Doesn’t Start: Audie Murphy
Five toes, five feet high. hardly ever over a hundred kilos.  ,
Audie Murphy used her machine gun to mowed down wave after wave of Germans only on a French battle while climbing atop a using tank warship.
His Medal of Honor citation, for example, didn’t quite catch half of it. Because he resisted running, he saved life.  ,
When asked how he handled it, Murphy again said,” They were killing my friends.
He had enough of that.
Richard Bong: America’s Most Reputable Hero Who Only Wanted to Go Home
Richard Bong  flew from small Poplar, Wisconsin, into story.  ,
He defeigned 40 army planes in the skies over the Pacific, which is the most of any U.S. fighter pilots ever.  ,
He didn’t perform. He didn’t publish a guide.  ,
He simply kept flying and defending his sons with wings.
After the war, Bong passed away while piloting a new plane close to Los Angeles. The bombing of Hiroshima took place the same day as it was dropped by America. His dying was hardly ever reported in the media.  ,

However, it ought to have shook the ground.
Roy Benavidez: Shot, Stabbed, and Also Saving Life
With nothing but a physician case and an iron can, Master Sergeant Roy Benavidez jumped from a plane into enemy fire in Vietnam. He continued after being repeatedly shot, stabbed by a spear, and then blown up by a bomb.  ,
Eight of the men who were hurt were safely carried by him.
When he was being ushered into a system case by doctors, he spat in their faces to show that he was still alive.  ,
Eventually, he said,” I would do it again for my people.”
Every term he spoke meant something.
Various War, Similar Warrior: Modern Heroes
The look of the dress does have changed. The adversaries also have. The American Warrior, however, has no.
Sergeant First Class Alwyn Cashe , didn’t think twice. When his Bradley combat aircraft struck an IED in Iraq, embers engulfed it.  ,
His dress was soaked in energy. He sprang into the flames and rescued his men from the commotion.  ,
Over 70 % of his body was burned, according to him. He passed away weeks later. His Medal of Honor was ultimately given in 2021, over 15 years too late.
As his brothers-in-arms were ambushed in a river in Afghanistan, Marine Sergeant Dakota Meyer was given the command to remain down.  ,
He turned down. He charged into Taliban fire five days in a gun vehicle, pulling wounded warriors and their body from the shoot zone.  ,
He fought to bring them home rather than gain glory.
An Air Force fight controller named Technical Sergeant John Chapman is alleged to have perished in a bloody gunfight on an Afghan hill.  ,

However, after drone footage revealed that he had awakened and had continued to fight alone against army forces to protect a fallen Navy SEAL. With no one but God to see it, He died fighting for that land.
These guys don’t happen randomly. They continue a courageous lineage that dates back to Bunker Hill and Belleau Wood, Iwo Jima and Inchon, Khe Sanh, and Kandahar. Their names are just known today because of how great their acts were and how they couldn’t be quietly forgotten.
Perhaps so, we have just scratched the surface.
Numerous people are recognized beyond these Medal of Honor recipients, including guards, marines, tankers, nurses, pilots, offer drivers, and chaplains. Men who entered the fire not exited.  ,
Soldiers who went home with broken bones, friends, or visible wounds. Champions who previously requested a festival lacked the courage to do so.
We highlighted a dozen, but many more should be remembered.
President Trump: Restoring Dignity to the Ranks
The military’s reputation has changed under President Trump. He arrives, addresses them as soldiers, speaks with Walter Reed, and speaks. He views the military as the foundation rather than the military as a landscape.
Under his management, military selection has increased, not because of the celebrated nature of war, but because of the country’s renewed love.
Younger Americans are stepping up once more to protect a country that is learning to say thanks once more, not to support a party.
The Thread Holds: From the Hills of France to the Deserts of Iraq

There are so many more interesting tales out it.  ,
People whose titles you’ll never notice at a press conference.  ,
Women who engaged in combat medevacs or fleet work and took the risk.  ,
Heroes who are etched into the nation’s heart but aren’t in historical fiction.
Sadly, some are keeping those tales alive. One of them is The Large Electrician, a veteran and author who employs fun, blunt honesty, and a lot of respect to bring back the forgotten chapters of British military history.  ,
His efforts help ensure that generations later are aware of what surrender actually means.
Say It Right Then, Before It’s Too Late.
Go to the festival this Sanctuary Day. Watch the song from your seat. the symbol to a halt.  ,
Call your dad, words your friend, and say” Thank you for your service” to the former at the gas station.
Because the men and women who fought didn’t do it for reputation; instead, they did it for God.  ,
For the nation. And for the man who lives right next to them.
Let’s make ourselves a state deserving of that love.
And let’s let them speak it while we’re still around.
