...that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.~excerpt from the Gettysburg Address.
"Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude. American will never forget their sacrifices."~Harry Truman
It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.~George Patton
Thanks to all who served and to those who are serving now.
