00:00:08,220 --> 00:00:10,387
[music: bugle plays "Taps"]Since the early beginnings of this day

2
00:00:10.387 --> 00:00:12.164
of remembrance, Americans have

3
00:00:12.164 --> 00:00:13.942
observed their fellow countrymen's

4
00:00:13.942 --> 00:00:16.053
sacrifice with parades and ceremonies.

5
00:00:20.620 --> 00:00:22.676
This Memorial Day weekend, although

6
00:00:22.676 --> 00:00:24.842
the cemeteries may remain silent, the

7
00:00:24.842 --> 00:00:27.064
ultimate sacrifice that was paid by the

8
00:00:27.064 --> 00:00:29.120
men and women that are buried in our

10
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:31.176
nation's cemeteries across the world

11
00:00:31.176 --> 00:00:33.342
from far-reaching conflicts throughout

12
00:00:33.342 --> 00:00:35.342
our history will not be forgotten.
13
00:00:37.340 --> 00:00:39.396
Please take a moment to reflect upon

14
00:00:39.396 --> 00:00:41.562
their sacrifices and mourn the loss of

15
00:00:41.562 --> 00:00:43.451
our nation's soldiers, Marines,

16
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:46.010
sailors and airmen, many of whom are

17
00:00:46.010 --> 00:00:48.066
buried on foreign soil, having left

18
00:00:48.066 --> 00:00:50.010
home in service of their country,

19
00:00:50.010 --> 00:00:50.320
never to return.
