And thanks for your service. Memorial Day is remembering the sacrifices others have made for us and I hope your retirement is worth all the ones you made over the years in the Army.

<i>A U.S. sailor who died on Sunday of medical complications was the 3,000th life lost in the war in Afghanistan.

Petty Officer 1st Class Ryan J. Wilson, 26, of Shasta, California, died May 20 in Manama, Bahrain, the Defense Department said on Friday.

Of the 3,000 deaths, at least 1,840 of them were American, in addition to thousands of Afghans and soldiers of other nationalities.</i>
