Hi my name is Tyler M Sirovy. I am an Operation Enduring Freedom veteran soldier. I nearly lost my life in the War of Afghanistan, but I live to tell my story. I will share with any reader what Memorial Day is to me.

Memorial Day to me, is a day in which a free and grateful nation honors the dead by reminding themselves of those who fought with a noble cause. A day to honor those heroes for the rights earned; by the few, the proud, the brave men and women who died for the cause in which “they so willingly gave a last full measure of devotion” –President Lincoln 1863.

Still today, in our hearts and minds, we remember and know the wars of past and present. To me, Memorial Day is a day to display our thanks and sympathies for those who sacrificed on the field of battle and for their loved ones who suffered here at home.

Thank you to every single person who is and has been impacted, for the service above and beyond the call of duty, in action with the enemy during War.
