Memorial Day is more than historical figures carved on mountains of stone. It is the memory of a nation with love’s sacrifices etched in its soul. It is a day that reminds us we are part of a nation and system which declares that all persons are free: Free to speak, to believe, even not to believe. From the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of Tripoli; from Bunker Hill to Kings Mountain; from Bull Run to Gettysburg; from Pearl Harbor to Iwo Jima; from Seoul to Heart-Break Ridge; from Saigon to the deserts of the Middle East; ...and on to Bosnia our grandfathers, fathers, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters have fought, shed crimson blood, and died that this nation and its system of freedom, its promise of liberty, shall not pass from the land. But Memorial Day is more than laying flowers on graves of the war dead and loved ones who died without intrusion of wan' horron. It is growing within our souls the living flowen of life’s loves, liberties, freedoms and achievements so that all peoples shall know the beauty of life lived in peace. The graves on whicn we lay flowen, the monuments we lean flowen against, are the soil that will enable the flowen of our lives to grow as we REMEMBER! *
