NOTHING FOR IT. AND BACK HERE IN THE METRO AT THE NATIONAL WORLD WAR ONE MUSEUM, A MEMORIAL, THERE WERE A VARIETY OF PROGRAMS AND EXHIBITS. EACH ONE SERVED AS A REMINDER OF THE IMPORTANCE OF REMEMBERING THOSE WHO DIED IN THE SERVICE OF THEIR COUNTRY AND THEIR FAMILIES. THE MESSAGE IS CLEAR TONIGHT, HONORING THEM ALL, AND NOT JUST ON MEMORIAL DAY, IS A MATTER OF CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY. AS LONG AS I BELIEVE WE SAY THEIR NAMES AND TELL THEIR STORIES, THEY CONTINUE TO LIVE.
