However, if we could ask those who served and fell what they would like us to remember, I believe they would tell us to remember the great lesson their loss teaches us: the lesson that freedom and democracy cannot be preserved without self-sacrifice. If each of us every day, year after year, makes the small sacrifices of time, energy and self-interest necessary to preserve our freedoms, that is enough.
Il suffit que chacun de nous, jour après jour, année après année, fasse le modeste sacrifice de consacrer le temps et l'énergie nécessaires et de montrer l'intérêt voulu pour préserver nos libertés.
