To our fallen but not forgotten:
Your efforts were not in vain but of valor. Your time was not a waste but of want. The span between us is a fleeting moment.
We do not know the hour of our setting sun, and do not control what the cause may bring us to our end.
The one thing we can know, and control is the “Dash” in the middle. For it is our “Dash” from our beginning to our end that people will remember us for.
