On a day like today, we honor those who went before us. We lament the lives lost and taken in violent wars. We cherish the freedoms we have today. We work to heal those wounded by battles — physically, psychologically, and spiritually.
But we must also pray and work for peace.

Part of the Patriots’ success can be traced to defensive dominance coming out of halftime. But there’s also the value of a fast start on offense to open the third quarter.
