A stone marker bearing the inscription “Their Name Liveth Forevermore” stands among the graves of fallen soldiers at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in Colleville-sur-Mer, France. The cemetery overlooks Omaha Beach and honors the 9,388 American servicemembers who gave their lives during the D-Day landings and subsequent operations in World War II.
COMMENTARY: Memorial Day isn’t about veterans like me — it’s about the fallen. From combat casualties to tragic training deaths, their memory deserves our full attention.
