MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND: IN REMEMBRANCE

By Michelle Malkin • May 29, 2005 10:39 AM

Legacy.com has set up a moving tribute page to honor service members who lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. The company set up the site free of charge and launched it in March. The Guest Book sections are must read. Well over 19,000 Guest Book entries from readers have been posted since the site opened.

Take some time to read and remember here.
