Remembering the Fallen

In August 2005, Marine Lance Cpl. Travis Williams and his squad were sent on a rescue mission in Barwanah, Iraq. En route, their vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb. Of Travis' entire 12-person team, he alone survived.

Nothing connects me with today so well as the stories of those who have lost their lives in service to our country. The video below tells one man's story, and it is particularly gut-wrenching when he mentions what he is most proud of in the days that have followed the loss of his squadron.

Thanks to all who have served and sacrificed.
