"I have no illusions about what little I can add now to the silent testimony of those who gave their lives willingly for their country. Words are even more feeble on this Memorial Day, for the sight before us is that of a strong and good nation that stands in silence and remembers those who were loved and who, in return, loved their countrymen enough to die for them. Yet, we must try to honor them -- not for their sakes alone, but for our own." ~ Excerpt from speech given by President Ronald Reagan, May 31, 1982.

 This was the post I prepared for Memorial Day. It still applies and resonates. Amen. ....More later.
