The patriot’s blood is the seed of Freedom’s tree. ~Thomas Campbell
-======================================
Decoration Day is the most beautiful of our national holidays….
The grim cannon have turned into palm branches,
and the shell and shrapnel into peach blossoms. ~Thomas Bailey Aldrich
============================================
Better than honor and glory, and History’s iron pen,
Was the thought of duty done and the love of his fellow-men.
~Richard Watson Gilder
============================================
We who are left how shall we look again
Happily on the sun or feel the rain
Without remembering how they who went
Ungrudgingly and spent
Their lives for us loved, too, the sun and rain?
~Wilfred Wilson Gibson
============================================
A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something
bigger than oneself. ~Joseph Campbell
============================================
Who kept the faith and fought the fight;
The glory theirs, the duty ours.
~Wallace Bruce
============================================
Life hangs as nothing in the scale against dear Liberty! ~Lucy Larcom
============================================
All we have of freedom, all we use or know -
This our fathers bought for us long and long ago.
~Rudyard Kipling, The Old Issue, 1899
============================================
War is too serious a matter to entrust to military men. -Georges Clemenceau
============================================
Our battle-fields, safe in the keeping
Of Nature’s kind, fostering care,
Are blooming, – our heroes are sleeping, -
And peace broods perennial there.
~John H. Jewett
