The Unknowns are a symbol of all the sacrifices made for our freedom. Not only theirs, but that of all our warriors. When their country called, they answered. Then they heard the sound of gunfire, they rode towards it.
Without their sacrifice and that of millions of others, we would have no freedom to take as lightly as we do.
I somehow doubt you really take our freedom as lightly as you mention. I've read the recent posts on your blog.
You can add another to the millions who have sacrificed.
SSG Kenneth Mayne was killed in action in Iraq on September 4th of this year. He was back for his second tour, and told him mom before he left that he wouldn't be coming back, but that it was worth it, to fight for our people, and the Iraqi people. At least we got him back, and his family know what happened to him, and how he felt about it.
