In Honor of Our Veterans

SALUTING THOSE WHO HAVE

SACRIF ICED FOR OUR COUNTRY

A SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT OF THE DAILY JOURNAL

MAY 31, 2010 SECTION E

Memorial Day provides us

with an opportunity to take

time out fromour busy lives

to remember andhonor

thosemen andwomenwhohavemade

the ultimate sacrifice to protect theUnit-

ed States and the libertieswehold dear.

Mississippians have a strong affinity for

our national defense, with thousands of

youngpeople volunteering to serve in the

ArmedForces.We also understand that

wewill lose loved ones as part of that

dedication.

The very firstMemorial Day, originally

knownasDecorationDay,was observed

in 1868 by decorating the graves of Civil

War soldiers, and since then, Americans

have set aside a time each year to honor

their fallen heroes.

Columbus,Miss., proudly claims to be

the birthplace of this tradition, but

Memorial Daywasnt officially established

as a federal holiday until 1971. In the 234

years sincewebecame an independent

nation, Americans have fought in numer-

ouswars, andmanyhave given their lives

in defense of the ideals that theUnited

States represents.

Aswe gather this year to commemo-

rateMemorialDay,we can reflect on all of

theMississippians

whohave perished

protecting our nation,

whether in battles

long ago or in the on-

going conflicts in

Afghanistan and Iraq.

Since the start of

Operation Enduring

FreedomandOpera-

tion Iraqi Freedomal-

most 10 years ago,

more than 70mem-

bers of the Armed

Forceswith close ties

toMississippi have died fighting in the

wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Since

MemorialDay last year, nineMississippi

soldiers have diedwhile serving the

Americanpeople.Those valiantmen in-

clude:

LanceCpl. Phillip P. Clark, 19, of Bran-

don, diedMay 18, 2010

Sgt. AnthonyO.Magee, 29, ofHatties-

burg, diedApril 27, 2010

ArmyPfc. AnthonyBlount, 21, of Petal,

diedApril 7, 2010

Staff Sgt.WilliamS. Ricketts, 27, of

Corinth, died Feb 27, 2010

Sgt. 1st Class ChristopherD. Shaw, 26,

ofNatchez, died Sept. 29, 2009

Sgt.MatthewL. Ingram, 25, ofNewton,

diedAug. 21, 2009

Sgt. 1st Class AlejandroGranado, 42, of

Fairfax,Va., diedAug. 2, 2009 (Mississippi

Guard)

Guard Sgt. 1st Class SeverinW. Sum-

mers III, 43, of Bentonia, diedAug. 2, 2009

Army Staff Sgt. JohnnyRoosevelt Polk,

39, of Gulfport, died July 31, 2009

I honor them, andmyheart goes out to

the families of the braveMississippimen

andwomen in uniformwhohave died for

our country.Their additional sacrifice

must not be forgotten thisMemorial Day.

Congress isworking diligently to pro-

vide our troops in Afghanistanwith the

funds necessary to finish the job and

comehome safely. I understand the ne-

cessity ofmatching our soldiers readi-

nesswith themeans to complete their

mission, and I amconfident that the en-

tireMississippi delegation andCongress

continues to take that duty very seriously.

As a veteran of theUnited StatesNavy, I

amparticularly thankful for the bravery

anddedication of thosewhohave fought

anddied for our country in our defense.

We are blessed to live in a country that

protects its citizenswith such a fine, fight-

ing force.

ThisMemorial Day, I encourage every-

one to take amoment to remember the

courageous American soldierswhohave

given their lives for our nation.They are

true heroes, andweowe themour

solemngratitude for their service and

sacrifice.

We Honor Our Veterans

and Thank You For Your Service

I

n observance ofMemorial Day,

communities and organizations

acrossMississippi are holding cere-

monies to honor those who have

made the ultimate sacrifice.

OnMay 15, I was privileged to attend

a Bay Springs ceremony that brought

togethermembers of the National

Guard, servicemenwho have fought in

Iraq and Afghanistan, and some 100 of

our nations oldest veterans.

Arnold Flowers of Laurel was among

twoWorldWar II veterans who gave

moving accounts of their experiences in

the Bataan DeathMarch. The veterans

many of them in their 80s and 90s

helped honor a recently fallen American

hero, 20-year-oldMarine Corporal

Dustin Jerome Lee of Quitman,Miss.

Corporal Lee died in amortar attack in

Fallujah, Iraq, in 2007.

I hope it was a comfort to his family,

who also attended the event alongwith

Dustins beloved bomb-sniffing dog, Lex,

to see patriots of that great generation

pay tribute to their young sons sacrifice.

The next great generation

Dustin Jerome Lee is part of a new

generation of American heroes who are

fighting for our freedom in Afghanistan

and Iraq.

Currently, 2,486Mississippians are

deployed on active duty.

Likemany who served before them,

some of our brave troops have paid

with their lives.

Sixty-fiveMississippians have been

killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Themost recent funeral service I at-

tended was in February for Army Staff

SergeantWilliam Ricketts of Corinth.

SSG Ricketts was a decorated hero who

served two tours of duty in Iraq and lost

his life during a third tour in

Afghanistan.

I was humbled to join his family and

friends inmourning, and I extend to

themmy deepest gratitude for the sacri-

fice they havemade along with thou-

sands of othermilitary families.

The names of fallenMississippi sons

and daughters like Corporal Lee and

SSG Ricketts are written into history,

joining thousands of

others and establish-

ing a new legacy of

patriotism and serv-

ice. While some previ-

ous U.S. conflicts have

relied on the draft to

fill the ranks, every

man and woman in

themilitary today has

voluntarily joined

one of our service

branches.

Today, military re-

cruiting goals are

beingmet and exceeded.

As an Air Force veteran, this fact fills

me with pride and gives evidence that

this is another great generation of

Americans.

Providing for our troops

I am also reminded of the enormous

responsibility Congress has to protect

and provide for our troops who are

fighting in harms way.

As amember of the Senate Armed

Services Committee, I have the oppor-

tunity to play an active role in the deci-

sions that affect ourmilitary and our

continued efforts to defeat global terror-

ism.

Since late 2009, when President

Obama announced a surge in troop

force in Afghanistan, more Americans

have poured into that country to inten-

sify our counterinsurgency efforts.

Over the past several months, I have

met in Afghanistan and inWashington

with our top generals and administra-

tion officials, as well as with Afghan

President Hamid Karzai, tomake sure

our strategy for victory in Afghanistan is

on point.

The best way we can honor the fallen

is tomake sure their fellowmen and

women in uniform are equipped to fin-

ish this critical mission.

Unlike after previous wars, no treaty

will ever signed to end terrorism the

only option is to defeat the enemy.

Though some believe this an insur-

mountable task, I am heartened by the

wordsMayor Rudy Guiliani recently

spoke at the University of SouthernMis-

sissippi commencement ceremony:

We believe in God, and we believe in

America you cant have any stronger

beliefs than those.

Our faith and our patriotismwill guide

us through any challenge and will help

ease the pain of the losses we sustain as

our servicemen and women fight to

preserve freedom in the 21st century.

Wicker honors next great generation of American patriots

Sen. Roger

WICKER

The best way we can honor

the fallen is to make sure

their fellow men and women

in uniform are equipped to

finish this critical mission.

PULITZER PRIZE WINNING PHOTOGRAPH - 1945 Its been four days since Joe Rosenthal landed on the Pacific Island of Iwo Jima in a hail of Japanese fire.

The bombardment has not let up. Rosenthal finds himself photographing one of the bloodiest battles of World War II. Finally, U.S. Marines capture Mount

Suribachi, a volcano on the islands southern end. Jubilant at any small victory, they raise an American flag. Out of the corner of my eyeI had seen the men

start the flag up. I swung my camera and shot the scene. Courtesy of The Associated Press.
