All gave some, some gave all
U.S. Air Force Col. David Been, 7th Bomb Wing commander, speaks during a Memorial Day ceremony May, 28, 2012, at the Texas State Veteran Cemetery in Abilene, Texas. Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Formerly known as Decoration Day, it originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union soldiers who died in the Civil War. By the 20th century Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died in all wars. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Jonathan Stefanko/ Released)
