All the names that were engraved on the wall all had something in common. Each and every one of them gave their own lives to save the galaxy and their own planets, but most of all.. they gave up their lives to give every species in the Galaxy a chance to start a new in this fresh new life.

Each and every name was read out in a memorial service back on the citadel were thousands of soldiers, specters and top ranking officers came to pay their respects to fallen comrades and close friends. It was an emotional day for everyone as many tears fell and screams of remembrance heard from afar.

"Commander Macie Shepard.." Her name was the last to be read out to the thousands of people who bowed their heads in respect to the woman who saved all their lives back in the final battle.

"A woman who gave up her own life to give us the one we live and breath today. The best soldier the Alliance had even seen. A Commander loved by all her team.. a proud daughter of the late Hannah Shepard. Her memory will live on in each and every one of us who stand here this very day. Let us make sure that her sacrifice was not given in vain!"

With the memorial locked in place, everyone laid flowers and other momento's on the ground before offering a silent prayer. After everyone else left there was only Hackett left standing.

"Thank you, Commander. You know you'll never be forgotten in our hearts. I will miss you, dear girl." he muttered before turning back, heading back towards his office. The show had to continue.
