This is why we set this day aside:

This Memorial Day weekend, I’m going to spend my time contemplating how, after making multiple trips into a burning Bradley to save his boys, SFC Alwyn Cashe still hasn’t been awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously. He died for his brothers; it wasn’t a merciful death. pic.twitter.com/SmU6qA7oY7

Maybe it’s a good thing we have fewer parties and BBQs on Memorial Day- the better to think of and mourn the warriors over the centuries who’ve died for us. I’ve a special place in my heart for the fallen of the Battle of Kamdesh. Afghanistan. October 3, 2009. @jaketapper pic.twitter.com/EI5tUHTrLO

Charles Keating IV. “Chuck Heavy”. His laugh was contagious. Life of the party.
He was killed placing himself in danger so that his Team wouldn’t have to. Navy Cross recipient. Epic hero, husband, son, brother. pic.twitter.com/uFj0ROOnSb

Brett Marihugh. The most motivating and entertaining guy in our BUD/S class. Told stories for hours about his time as a cop before he joined. He pretended to be a doctor so he could visit my hospital room in Afghanistan and check up on me after I got hit by an IED. pic.twitter.com/OzraXYQDp4

Tom Fouke. My old roommate. Dear friend. The gentlest big guy I ever knew. He raised an Argentine Horned frog named Lester when we lived together. Loved life, loved Metallica. World would be a better place with him in it. pic.twitter.com/xX7z0DsFIm

Brad Cavner. Cool, collected, and a great operator. Brad taught me to shoot left-handed after I lost my right eye, and spent countless hours getting my CQC skills back up to speed.

Kevin Ebbert. My roommate in BUD/S. One of the smartest, most capable, kindest SEALs I ever knew. Skilled medic, loving husband. Missed dearly. pic.twitter.com/FyKdSxf3Kx

Dave Warsen. All American. Spent a lot of time together on our deployment to Afghanistan. When not on missions, we’d hit the volleyball court (half sand, half rocks). Strongest guy in the platoon, and also the happiest. Truly loved and missed. pic.twitter.com/Ufq7flyzOk

Pat Feeks. One of the best JTACs out there. Best story teller I ever met (those who knew him will understand!). Loyal friend, husband, brother, and son. He always showed up when you asked him to. pic.twitter.com/p2sjVNPX8t

Brendan Looney. Did our first deployment together at SEAL Team 3. One of the best and most respected leaders on the Team. Husband, son, and brother.

Reminder that Crenshaw is up for re-election. He is a RINO and is McCain 2.0.
God bless them all. Rest in peace. Thank you for your service and for making the ultimate sacrifice.
God bless America! Land of the free because of the brave.
