It is now the moment when by common consent
we pause to become conscious of our national life and to rejoice in it,
to recall what our country has done for each of us,
and to ask ourselves what we can do for our country in return.

– Memorial Day speech, May 30, 1884  - Oliver Wendell Holmes

    Thank you for posting these photos today. What a great reminder of the sacrifices our soldiers and others have made for our freedom.

    I hope you have a great weekend.
