Memorial Day Musings

Today is Memorial Day. Three years after the Civil War ended, on May 5, 1868, the head of an organization of Union veterans established Decoration Day as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers. The first large observance was held that year at Arlington National Cemetery, across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. Memorial Day, as it has been called since 1971, is a federal holiday in the United States for honoring and mourning the U.S. military personnel who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. It is observed on the last Monday of May. Here are a few of my favorite Memorial Day Quotes:

  • “All gave some, some gave all” Howard William Osterkamp
  • “I’m proud to be an American, where at least I know I’m free. And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.” Lee Greenwood
  • “Our flag does not fly because the wind moves it. It flies with the last breath of each soldier who died protecting it.” Unknown
  • “This is the day we pay homage to all those who didn’t come home. This is not Veterans Day, it’s not a celebration, it is a day of solemn contemplation over the cost of freedom.” Tamra Bolton
  • “Lord, bid war’s trumpet cease; Fold the whole earth in peace.” Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
  • “It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God such men lived.” George S. Patton
  • “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.” Winston Churchill
  • “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.” John 15:13
