Memorial Day Quotes and Tributes

Wishing you a happy Memorial Day. If your family has been personally touched by the horrors of war, may God bless and comfort you. Thank you for your selfless sacrifice. We honor all who have given their lives in the defense of America.
John 15:13 No one has greater love than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived. - Gen. George S. Patton Jr.

Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened. - Billy Graham

The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it. - Thucydides

A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself. - Joseph Campbell

True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost. - Arthur Ashe

It doesn't take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle. - Norman Schwarzkoph

The main thing about being a hero is to know when to die. - Will Rogers

Other Memorial Day Movies

Let me know if you have some favorite Memorial Day quotes, websites, movies, or music...lots of great music out there germane to this holiday, from Sousa to Cohan; but if you get an opportunity to listen to that great hymn, Mansions in the Sky from the movie, We Were Soldiers and immortalized at President Reagan's funeral, I think you'll agree it may be the quintessential Memorial Day Song of our time (you can hear it here and see the lyrics as well)...don't miss it!.

Welcome Radio Equalizer listeners!
