Memorial Day is a day to pause and remember those men and women who have given their lives in the service of our country. Let us take an extra moment to honor more specifically those fallen heroes from Georgia who fought and died in Operations Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom and New Dawn. These departed were our neighbors, our friends and our family, and they will never be forgotten.
