Memorial Day


NEVER FORGOTTEN

The only words necessary on Memorial Day are THANK YOU to those that have served our country. 

I attended two Memorial Day functions today.  The first was at the American Legion Stitt Post in Dearborn Heights.  I am proud to say that I am a member of the Sons of the American Legion.  You will not find any truer and loyal Americans than those at that American Legion.  Afterwards,  I attended the Memorial Mass at St. Hedwig’s Cemetery.

“These heroes are dead. They died for liberty – they died for us. They are at rest. They sleep in the land they made free, under the flag they rendered stainless, under the solemn pines, the sad hemlocks, the tearful willows, and the embracing vines. They sleep beneath the shadows of the clouds, careless alike of sunshine or of storm, each in the windowless Place of Rest. Earth may run red with other wars – they are at peace. In the midst of battle, in the roar of conflict, they found the serenity of death. I have one sentiment for soldiers living and dead: cheers for the living; tears for the dead.”— Robert G. Ingersoll
