A Final Salute

– to those who did not come home –
 

To those honored dead

who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their fellow countrymen,

we dedicate this tribute.
 

"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many, to so few."

Winston Churchill, 1940

"When you remember me , it means that you carried something of who I am with you, that I have left some mark of who I am on who you are. It means that even after I die, you can still see my face and hear my voice and speak to me in your heart. For as long as you remember me, I am never entirely lost."

Buechner

"It is my earnest hope - indeed the hope of all mankind - that from this solemn occasion a better world shall emerge out of the blood and carnage of the past, a world founded upon faith and understanding, a world dedicated to the dignity of man and the fulfillment of his most cherished wish for freedom, tolerance, and justice."

GENERAL DOUGLAS MACARTHUR

1945
