The
lives of those who paid the supreme sacrifice are glorious before
us. Their deeds constitute a daily inspiration for those who remain
in their home communities. They inspire us to think; they inspire
us to act; they inspire us to be patriotic; they inspire us to
remember to be human.
In
memory of those who gave their lives in service to our country,
Local 704 dedicates this page to the American Soldier.
