QUOTE OF THE DAY: The grave markers here all face west, across an ageless and indifferent ocean to the country these men and women served and loved. The thoughts of America on this Memorial Day turn to them and to all their fallen comrades in arms. We think of them with lasting gratitude; we miss them with lasting love; and we pray for them. And we trust in the words of the Almighty God, which are inscribed in the chapel nearby: "I give unto them eternal life, that they shall never perish."

I only saw clips of the speech, but I read the whole thing, and it was magnificent!

I checked out all the Doses while I was gone, and nearly fainted when I saw the picture of the President whispering sweet nothings into Laura's ear! Sigh........

There was entirely too much going on (and too much fun) while I was away!!

Thank you, Rintense, for the ping. The picture in #1 is beautiful and breathtaking! Yes I say God Bless America and God Bless President Bush! I hope you had a great Memirial Day.

The day will come when no one is left who knew them, when no visitor to this cemetery can stand before a grave remembering a face and a voice. The day will never come when America forgets them. And our nation and the world will always remember what they did here, and what they gave here for the future of humanity.

Rintense, thank you for posting the President's speech as I missed it this morning. What moving words, and also a gentle reminder to our European allies of what we gave for them. The sight of all those crosses facing West gives me the chills.

OhioWFan, welcome back! How was graduation?
