(Special message from Luke's co-author)

For this Memorial Day weekend, Luke wrote a very moving opinion piece for CNN. "What Veterans Really Think About on Memorial Day." To many of us, the holiday has lost its true meaning. To service members like Luke, who saw their fellow warriors injured, perhaps watched them die, it's impossible to forget. Please take a moment to ponder that sacrifice, to consider their lives. And remind those around you, especially children, about what the holiday REALLY means. The lives of these service members mattered, their sacrifice is appreciated.
