“I was there. I saw your sons and your husbands, your brothers and your sweethearts. I saw how they worked, played, fought, and lived. I saw some of them die. I saw more courage, more good humor in the face of discomfort, more love in an era of hate and more devotion to duty than could exist under tyranny.”

~Bob Hope

American comedian, actor, and entertainer Bob Hope was born on this day in 1903.

Today, the United States remembers our fallen soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines. As we observe Memorial Day, take a moment to honor the military personnel who have died in service to our country.
