it s corporal luke runyon who lived in germany. my wife was in germany at the time. most of us had deployed from there. he had a young family back in graphenbier, and he had just reenlisted to stay in the army after talking to our sergeant major and he was killed in a small arms assault against al qaeda terrorists. so these are some of the 253 that are in this box. every one of them has a picture that are frozen in time. they could have been, we don t know. we don t know where their life would have taken them, but each one of them are responsible for us living in freedom. and that s the kind of thing that we should be thinking about on memorial day. you showed us the top of your box, it says, make it matter. you wrote in an opinion piece for cnn a few years ago about how we as americans can do that, how we can make it matter. and you wrote, how we can earn it.
