In Memoriam

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.
~Robert G. Ingersoll

I'm so glad that other people made Memorial Day posts. I couldn't bring myself to do it with him away.
