Walt had the opportunity this Memorial Day of attending two events honoring the members of our military. Walt attended the Clarkston Memorial Day service, where he spoke about the importance of recognizing those whose lives were changed or lost as a result of their sacrifices for our country.
Walt: "My father, my brother in law and I all share one thing, that is, we came home alive and prepared to go on to enjoy the bounty of America, to marry and raise families, to have careers and to enjoy the bounty of this great, free country"
Walt also attended the dedication of the Craig Mountain Veterans Memorial. The creation of this memorial was the senior project of Kameron Mercado, a student Highland High School, who deserves our thanks for his dedication to honoring our fallen veterans. If Kameron is typical of his generation, this country will be in very good hands.
Walt: "Memorial Day is an appropriate occasion for those of us who are blessed to live in this country to recognize, memorialize and acknowledge those who have made it possible for us to be among the privileged few who can gather today to celebrate the accomplishments of those who have served for us in the military, who have fought our wars, protected our freedoms and this next generation of young men and women, of whom, Kameron is clearly one of the finest."
