This is the day we pay homage to all those who didn’t come home. This is not Veterans Day, it’s not a celebration, it is a day of solemn contemplation over the cost of freedom. ~ Tamra Bolton
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them. ~ John F. Kennedy
May we never forget our fallen comrades. Freedom isn’t free. ~ Sgt. Major Bill Paxton
“Ceremonies are important. But our gratitude has to be more than visits to the troops, and once-a-year Memorial Day ceremonies. We honor the dead best by treating the living well.”- Jennifer M. Granholm
“Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die.”- G.K. Chesterson
“Without memory, there is no culture. Without memory there would be no civilization, no future.”- Elie Wisel
Today we remember those who died in service to our flag. Let us never forget their sacrifices.
Let us never forget all the men and women who died defending our country.
Thank you to Country Living for collecting these wise words.
