Freedom of the individual is integral to a free State, and free States lead to free individuals everywhere. Individual responsible liberty, with earnest belief in merit and a wish to be all one can be together with sharing such spirit with all on earth, is what gave so many nations the admirable and respectable populations they've had in the first place.

To every soldier, civilian, great one, small one, religious one, civic-minded one, and those whose peaceful contributions we may never know as they gave and give selflessly toward objectively to uplifting the value of humanity (no matter if such be done in or for the USA or similarly in or for others in sane freedom's cause):

 

May Almighty God bless you, keeping you in His love, light, and strength as you persevere...and I thank you all so deeply from the innermost part of my heart for your service.
