On this Memorial Day, let's not forget the three Restonians who gave their lives serving our country in Iraq since 2004:
- Sgt. Scott L. Kirkpatrick , 26, of Reston; Army, Iraq, Aug. 11, 2007
- Staff Sgt. Nathaniel J. Nyren , 31, of Reston; Army, Iraq, Dec. 28, 2004
- Lance Cpl. Tavon L. Hubbard , 24, of Reston; Marine Corps, Iraq, Aug. 11, 2004
I offer my gratitude to all of our service personnel, but especially to the Hubbard, Nyren and Kirkpatrick families, on Memorial Day. Thank you ever so much for your sacrifice.
ReplyDeleteAnd did you know that Reston resident, USAF TSgt Patrick L. McDermott, had the honor of playing taps this morning at Arlington for the wreath laying ceremony? He's a member of the USAF Ceremonial Brass.

I salute these and all other members of our armed services who protect our freedoms and who are willing to give their life in so doing. They and their families are what makes America the country it is. Thank you for your service and for making the ultimate sacrifice.
