The U.S. sets aside one day a year to honor our fallen.
“This holiday is not really about thanking veterans, or sales, or long summer weekend activities.
It’s about the ache in the hearts of countless survivors who carry the weight of loss. It’s about honoring the fallen. On Memorial Day and all year long, remember the sons and daughters, husbands and wives, sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers, friends”.
They say, We were young. We have died. Remember us.
They say, We have done what we could but until it is finished it is not done.
They say, We have given our lives but until it is finished no one can know what our lives gave.
They say, Our deaths are not ours: they are yours: they will mean what you make them.
They say, Whether our lives and our deaths were for peace and a new hope or for nothing we cannot say: it is you who must say this.
