“ Spirit, that made those heroes dare
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee. ”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
All of us, whether we agree with the current war situation or not, need to take a moment to reflect on the loss of life that was and is necessary to protect our freedoms.
“Soliders from the U.S. Army Old Guard place flags at grave stones at Arlington National Cemetery May 21, 2009 in Arlington, Virginia. It took 1,300 soldiers, sailors and Marines about three hours to place a flag at each of the more than 300,000 gravestones at Arlington ahead of the Memorial Day weekend.” (via:boston.com)
