And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.”
~Lee Greenwood

Their courage nerves a thousand living men.”

“They are dead; but they live in each Patriot's breast,
And their names are engraven on honor's bright crest”
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


“The greatest glory of a free-born people is to transmit that freedom to their children. ~ William Havard

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. ~ Albert Einstein

“And they who for their country die shall fill an honored grave, for glory lights the soldier's tomb, and beauty weeps the brave” ~Joseph Drake
