Memorial Day,
a day set aside as remembrance
of the vigor,
and the courage,
and the dedication
honoring . . .
A tribute
to all of America's war dead,
a day to preserve the memories
of those that have forged ahead
for our freedoms
and paid the ultimate price
. . . with their lives
I ...am...grateful!
Peace to each manly soul that sleepeth;
Rest to each faithful eye that weepeth.
- Thomas Moore
The brave never die, though they sleep in dust;
Their courage nerves a thousand living men.
- Minot J. Savage
