Memorial Day 2010

For many of us, the Memorial Day Weekend means picnics, quick trips out of the city and time relaxing. Please stay safe no matter what you and your family are doing for the holiday.

However, we must also take the time to remember the reason for this first warm weather holiday of the year … the ultimate sacrifice that has been made by brave men and women in the cause of protecting that safety and security. We may debate among ourselves the politics that brought on the critical conflicts throughout history but we must never dishonor the supreme sacrifice far too many have made that allow us to continue that debate so freely.


These heroes are dead. They died for liberty – they died for us. They are at rest. They sleep in the land they made free, under the flag they rendered stainless, under the solemn pines, the sad hemlocks, the tearful willows, and the embracing vines. They sleep beneath the shadows of the clouds, careless alike of sunshine or of storm, each in the windowless Place of Rest. Earth may run red with other wars – they are at peace. In the midst of battle, in the roar of conflict, they found the serenity of death. I have one sentiment for soldiers living and dead: cheers for the living; tears for the dead

-Robert G. Ingersoll
