Her message is so simple but so eloquent and timely, with an emotional part as well. Young ladies such as her reinforce our faith in this nation going forward. Take a few minutes and read her message.........she is indeed a bright light for our youth. Messages and stories such as hers can be written numerous times in every city and town across this great nation. May all who made the supreme sacrifice rest in eternal peace.
Very touching and a lot of tears. I haven't been in Reading for well over 50 years, but several names and familiar addresses of veterans who would have been elders to my generation. Well done, Autumn Hendrickson.
