General Paul E. Funk II

I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

I choose to do this; nobody forced me. I could leave at anytime, but I choose not to. I don't do it for praise or glory, but for the man next to me and for the country that holds my family.

To those who lost their lives, we remember. To those who survived, we see you. To the next generation, we must never forget.
