"...that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion, that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God, ...and that government of the people by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth." --Abraham Lincoln
Happy Memorial Day!
Take a few minutes out of your day off to consider just how much was paid to buy the freedom that we take for granted on a daily basis. I bet the families of those who died don't take it for granted.
We shouldn't either.

Ditto to that.
Side note: I didn't know that Lincoln had such a way with language.
