Memorial Day Tribute
We pause for Memorial Day to give thanks for the fallen who give us the freedom to rise up and greet each new day in a land of liberty. I was deeply moved by General Powell's tribute many years ago that our armed forces have not taken possession of nation except to bury our dead. May our tribute be a living one to the gift of this freedom to further the lives of others by building up the common good. Lives flying like flags for freedom
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
