What is Memorial Day? In the United States, it is a national holiday that is set aside to honor, remember and celebrate Americans who serve or have served in our armed forces. We fly flags, say a few prayers and feel grateful that we live in a free country, which has been given to us by the men and women who have been willing to fight; especially those who have died.
Here are some quotes for to share to your loved ones or to remember the friends or family lost to war:
Thucydides
Each man is a hero and an oracle to somebody. -Ralph Waldo Emerson
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 success of liberty.- John F. Kennedy.
Valor is a gift. Those having it never know for sure whether they have it till the test comes. And those having it in one test never know for sure if they will have it when the next test comes.Napoleon Bonaparte
We must be prepared to make heroic sacrifices for the cause of peace that we make ungrudgingly for the cause of war. There is no task that is more important or closer to my heart.
Albert Einstein
