Thank You

You did not know me, but yet you gave your life for me and the rest of this country. Today, though I did not know you, I would like to thank you for that sacrifice. As part of the Gridley High School posting project my fellow students and I are making sure that you and your fellow comrades will not be forgotten. Because of your great sacrifice, neither it nor you will be forgotten.
