Thought(s) For The Day Memorial Day 2008

Spirit, that made those heroes dare
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
~Lee Greenwood

 

"Your silent tents of green We deck with fragrant flowers;

Yours has the suffering been, The memory shall be ours."
-- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
