Memorial Day

Today in the U.S. we honor the veterans who gave the ultimate sacrifice and died in the military for our country. It is an important day of remembrance.

Some interesting quotes to ponder in light of this day:

“It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.” — Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address

“Those who have long enjoyed such privileges as we enjoy forget in time that men have died to win them.” — Franklin D. Roosevelt

“When duty calls, that is when character counts.” — William Safire

“I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.”— Nathan Hale

“Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are stiffened.” — Billy Graham

“Freely we serve, because we freely love, as in our will to love or not; in this we stand or fall.” — John Milton, Paradise Lost

“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

“No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks.”  — St. Ambrose

“May we never forget our fallen comrades. Freedom isn’t free.” — Sgt. Major Bill Paxton

“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

“My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” — John F. Kennedy
