What a moving tribute to the missing by this gentleman. I applaud him. It reminded me of the Animals in War Memorial in London, England which I stumbled across while visiting London shortly after its dedication. There is a haunting inscription on the memorial that stayed with me to this day which can be applied here as well: "They had no choice."
