“We come, not to mourn our dead soldiers, but to praise them.” — Francis A. Walker

“I have never been able to think of the day as one of mourning; I have never quite been able to feel that half-masted flags were appropriate on Decoration Day.  I have rather felt that the flag should be at the peak, because those whose dying we commemorate rejoiced in seeing it where their valor placed it.  We honor them in a joyous, thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did. ” — Benjamin Harrison, 23rd President of the United States

“A man’s country is not a certain area of land, of mountains, rivers, and woods, but it is a principle and patriotism is loyalty to that principle.” -George William Curtis, writer

“And each man stands with his face in the light of his own drawn sword. Ready to do what a hero can.” — Elizabeth Barrett Browningpoet

“The story of America’s quest for freedom is inscribed on her history in the blood of her patriots.”  — Randy Vader, lyricist

“The greatest glory of a free-born people is to transmit that freedom to their children.” —William Harvard, author

“Soldier, rest! Thy warfare o’er.” — Sir Walter Scott, novelist, pot, playwright

“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” — Albert Einstein, genius
