TODAY WE REMEMBER “We do not know one promise these men made, one pledge they gave, one word they spoke; but we do know they summed up and perfected, by one supreme act, the highest virtues of men and citizens. For love of country they accepted death, and thus resolved all doubts, and made immortal their patriotism and their virtue.” —James A. Garfield, Union Major General during the Civil War, (US Congressman at the time he spoke these words at Arlington National Cemetery), and the 20th President of the United States Today, spend a few minutes in quiet reflection and gratitude for the women & men who gave their lives in service to this nation, to protect the freedom we hold dear. |
