"For love of country they accepted death."
~James A. Garfield~
"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 joyous, thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did."

And I feel that same way...it should not only be sad and somber...but a day to remember and celebrate those who served and those who gave all. Thank you for shedding some different light on this day. Actually, every blog I visit sheds some unique light on this Memorial Day. Enjoy yours, Miss Sandy!
A beautiful post Sandy. I hope you and your family are enjoying a good day.
I like that second quote.
Hope you have a great day!
I loved the quote by Benjamin Harrison.
Have a blessed day of remembrance.
