Let us remember, as we enjoy this long weekend, that the price of the freedoms we enjoy and often take for granted, came at great cost to many who came before us and many who, even now, are engaged in their defence. The American soldier still stands as a beacon of freedom on the increasingly darkening world stage.
Here are several inspired quotes to consider:
Perform, then, this one act of remembrance before this Day passes - Remember there is an army of defense and advance that never dies and never surrenders, but is increasingly recruited from the eternal sources of the American spirit and from the generations of American youth. ~W.J. Cameron
Although no sculptured marble should rise to their memory, nor engraved stone bear record of their deeds, yet will their remembrance be as lasting as the land they honored. ~Daniel Webster
The story of America's quest for freedom is inscribed on her history in the blood of her patriots. ~Randy Vader
Let no vandalism of avarice or neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations, that we have forgotten, as a people, the cost of a free and undivided Republic. ~John A. Logan
