I believe Memorial Day should be a day that all Americans, young and old, should observe. We all have benefited from the freedom, paid for by those we remember...
A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself. ~Joseph Campbell
We come, not to mourn our dead soldiers, but to praise them. ~Francis A. Walker
How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes! ~Maya Angelou
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 and I'll proudly stand next to him to defend her still today, 'cuz there ain't no doubt I love this land, god bless the USA. -Lee Greenwood
The story of America's quest for freedom is inscribed on her history in the blood of her patriots. -Randy Vader
God Bless America, and those who serve our Country.
I honor my father who was a member of the Army Air Corp, and is buried at the
Tahoma National Cemetery
