Today we honor those who fought for our country, our freedom, our liberty, our future as Americans. A few quotes to inspire you...
"But the freedom that they fought for, and the country grand they wrought for,Is their monument to-day, and for aye."~Thomas Dunn English
"It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you." ~Author unknown, sometimes attributed to M. Grundler
"In war, there are no unwounded soldiers." ~José Narosky
"This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave." ~Elmer Davis
"I think there is one higher office than president and I would call that patriot." ~Gary Hart
"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"Valor is stability, not of legs and arms, but of courage and the soul." ~Michel de Montaigne
"Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die." ~G.K. Chesterton
"It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" - Patrick Henry, March 23,1775
Have a Great Day Everyone...Be Proud, Be Thankful!!
