 We trust these heroes find solace in knowing that the world they bequeathed to us was worth their sacrifice Now it is up to all of us to keep their memory those who forged victory in World War one reach out in spirit to today's young patriots They are still fighting for the freedom and distant lands giving themselves so that others may have a brighter future We're honored to be able to call such men and women past and present Americans Belgians friends Americans who joined their allied brothers and sisters to demonstrate unequaled resolve to combat tyranny and in doing so inspired the formidable NATO Alliance We maintain today We are inspired by their service and humbled by their sacrifice As we pause each morning each November to give thanks to those who left us too soon We have the peace of mind to remember the ground under our feet is the very ground these heroes fought to free
