WORDS OF REMEMBRANCE
“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter the words, but to live by them.” – John F. Kennedy
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We did not pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”- Ronald Reagan
“Let their remembrance be as lasting as the land they honored.” – Daniel Webster
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God such men lived.”- George S. Patton
“Our flag does not fly because the wind moves it. It flies with the last breath of each soldier who died protecting it.”- Unknown
A DAY OF REMEMBRANCE
“From the opening battle of the American Revolution through the turmoil of the Civil War, World War I, World War II, Korea and Vietnam, to the Persian Gulf and today’s operations in the war on terror in Afghanistan, Iraq, and around the world, our members in the military have built a tradition of honorable and faithful service. As we observe Memorial Day, we remember the more than one million Americans who have died to preserve our freedom, the more than 140,000 service personal who were prisoners of war, and to all of those names who were declared as missing in action.
Gratefully honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of liberty’s blessings. Please listen and just reflect what each of them must have gone thru in those terrifying moments before giving their lives. Bless them all.” — Lee Alan
