Quote:Memorial Day is a time of remembrance for those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom. My wife Elizabeth grew up on military bases around the world, as the daughter of a Navy pilot, and this holiday has always had special meaning for our family. This year, I am calling on all Americans to use their Memorial Day Weekend not only for celebration and time with family and friends, but also for a deeper purpose: to honor the memory of the fallen by acting, as patriots, to honor troops today—to end the war and bring them home.
Does "ultimate price" mean "sacrifice of their own lives"?
Yes, as the phrase " memory of the fallen" indicates.
= who gave their life in the line of service
