For love of country they accepted death... ~James A. Garfield
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. ~From a headstone in Ireland
The brave die never, though they sleep in dust:
Their courage nerves a thousand living men.
~Minot J. Savage
Their courage nerves a thousand living men.

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

Please remember this Memorial Day weekend, with the BBQs, Pool Openings and celebrations - is also a time to remember all those who gave their lives for the freedom we enjoy every day. Freedom comes with a price and many sacrificed their lives. Many families endure separation and many of them need to be honored and respected for their service.
