Memorial Day Quote Worth Remembering

The quote on the above monument honoring those who fought at the Battle of Vicksburg from the state of Tennessee:

Honor to those who never sought it;
Fame to those who never wished it;
Glory to those who never dreamed it;
Immortality, for they earned it.

The Confederate Soldiers of Tennessee
Mike Grissom

That quote could be applied to every soldier from every war to whom we honor and memorialize on this Memorial Day weekend.

May God bless and comfort the families of those who have served and paid the ultimate sacrifice in the service of our country. May we always remember them and their families and may we always remember and support those who put themselves in harms way to defend our way of life...God bless them.
