Remember...

Remember...  Tim McGraw's song If You're Reading This has been stuck in my brain for several years now as “the Memorial Day song”...

Some other Memorial Day thoughts:
The patriot’s blood is the seed of Freedom’s tree.   — Thomas Campbell

The dead soldier’s silence sings our national anthem.   — Aaron Kilbourn

We come, not to mourn our dead soldiers, but to praise them.   — Francis A. Walker

It doesn’t take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle.   — Norman Schwarzkopf

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.   — John F. Kennedy

The greatest glory of a free-born people is to transmit that freedom to their children.   — William Havard

Patriotism is supporting your country all the time – and your government when it deserves it.   — Mark Twain
