"Spirit, that made those heroes dare
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Today we honor the brave spirit of
those heroes that dare to die, and leave their
children free,
May the Spirit in Time and Nature spare our
memorials of remembrance honoring them
and thee with our expressions of eternal
gratitude and thanksgiving for their
sacrifices.
