The light of freedom still burns brightly because of the service and sacrifice of America’s men and women in uniform. The nation’s servicemen and women have fought the forces of tyranny and won victories for liberty, human dignity, and the ideals of democracy. With profound gratitude, Florida remembers those who suffered captivity and those whose fate remains unknown, and honors the valiant families of missing servicemen and women who have suffered not only the absence of their loved ones, but also the uncertainty of their fate. The citizens of Florida commit that they shall not be forgotten.
