To those who have served or currently serving, Happy Memorial Day!
From General John A. Logan's
Memorial Day Order Headquarters, Grand Army of the Republic
Washington, D.C., May 5, 1868:
"If other eyes grow dull and other hands slack, and other hearts cold in the solemn trust, ours shall keep it well as long as the light and warmth of life remain in us.
Let us, then, at the time appointed, gather around their sacred remains and garland the passionless mounds above them with choicest flowers of springtime; let us raise above them the dear old flag they saved from dishonor; let us in this solemn presence renew our pledges to aid and assist those whom they have left among us as sacred charges upon the Nation's gratitude,--the soldier's and sailor's widow and orphan."
I always listen to LTC Randolph White's speech when I need some motivating:
