58,282 American Patriots
Yesterday, President Obama traveled to Arlington Cemetery and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial to commemorate Memorial Day and those who gave everything for their country:
Today is Memorial Day, when we recall all those who gave everything in the darkness of war so we could stand here in the glory of spring. And today begins the 50th commemoration of our war in Vietnam. We honor each of those names etched in stone -- 58,282 American patriots. We salute all who served with them. And we stand with the families who love them still.
