25 YEARS AGO, THE MISSION BEGAN.

On October 7, 2001, Operation Enduring Freedom began.
For the next two decades, generations of Americans answered the call.

They deployed.
They fought.
They stood watch.
They missed birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, and milestones back home.

Some came home carrying scars you could see. Others carried things no one else could.

And some never made it home.

Twenty-five years later, we remember every service member who raised their right hand and stepped forward when their country called.

We remember the families who carried the weight of deployments at home.
We remember the brothers and sisters who stood beside one another through the hardest days.
And we remember those who gave their lives in service to something greater than themselves.

To everyone who served during Operation Enduring Freedom:
Thank you.

Your service mattered.
Your sacrifice is remembered.
And the names of those we lost will never be forgotten.

WE REMEMBER. WE HONOR. WE NEVER FORGET.

(Borrowed from Gruntstyle)

It is hard to believe it will be 25 years since the day that changed many of our lives. I was in the Army dropping my daughter off at her school when the first plane hit. By the time the plane hit the Pentagon we were on alert and the Ops Tempo did not slow for years.

Take a moment to reflect and if able check out the Flags of Honor display in Kerrville. Check out their page for more information. Gunny's Warriors
