Beneath the sacred sod at Chattanooga National Cemetery, more than 12,000 Union soldiers from the Civil War lie in eternal rest, over 4,000 of whom are unknown. Buried far from home, they gave their lives to make our country a more perfect union. They died at places with names such as Chickamauga, and Missionary Ridge, and Kennesaw.
Where their armies advanced, the evil institution of slavery crumbled behind them. Where they died, enslaved people were freed. Where these heroes were buried, so was any notion of white privilege.…
Memorial Day special report
The events of the past few years have made this Memorial Day, already one that gets more emotional as I've gotten older, even that much harder to bear for obvious reasons. But we have to go on. We have to remember them. For our own sake as well as theirs.

On this Memorial Day, we remember the fallen heroes who took their last breaths in defense of our Nation, our families, our citizens, and our sacred freedoms. The depth of their devotion, the steel of their resolve, and the purity of their patriotism has no equal in human history. On distant battlefields, in far-off oceans, and high in the skies above, they faced down our enemies and gave their lives so that America would prevail. They made the supreme sacrifice so that our people can live in safety and our Nation can thrive in peace. It is because of their gallantry that we can together, as one people, continue our pursuit of America’s glorious destiny.
We owe all that we are, and everything we ever hope to be, to these unrivaled heroes. Their memory and their legacy is immortal. Our loyalty to them and to their families is eternal and everlasting.
America’s warriors are the single greatest force for justice, peace, liberty, and security among all the nations ever to exist on earth. God bless our fallen Soldiers, Sailors, Coast Guardsmen, Airmen, and Marines. We honor them today, forever, and always.

We'll manage this one eventually, but I can't forecast whether it will be by political means or other methods.
You mustn't despair or quit, neither action is befitting Americans. Instead, that head is held HIGH and PROUD because failure is denied us.
