Memorial Day Weekend is just around
corner. Most Americans look forward to the long weekend, plan short trips,
barbeques and family get-togethers. Fact of the matter is Decoration Day or
Memorial Day goes beyond picnics, parades and weekend sales. It is a day when
people stop to give those a thought, who fought and died for the nation. We
bring you some popular memorial day quotes.
"True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.” - Arthur Ashe once said (Educator and Sportsperson)
"Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened." - Christian evangelist Billy Graham
"Freedom is the last, best hope of earth." - Abraham Lincoln
"Freedom of speech and freedom of action are meaningless without freedom to think. And there is no freedom of thought without doubt." - American educator Bergen Evans
“We make war, so we can live in peace.” – Aristotle
“What we do with this peace–whether we preserve it and defend it, or whether we lose it and let it slip away–will be the measure of our worthiness of the spirit and sacrifice of the hundreds of thousands who gave their lives in two World Wars, Korea, and in Vietnam.” – Richard Nixon
