The Kennedy Edition (November 7, 1962 – August 25, 2009)

August 25, 2009 was an extremely sad day for the service field (in my opinion, for the world as well), as we lost one of our most vocal and supportive champions. Senator Edward M. Kennedy will be greatly missed, and we can honor his memory by moving forward with the work.
