Memorial Day Quotes

It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies.
- Moina Michael
One for all Military for those who have been in conflict or been away from friends, family and loved ones all over the world. And for those who have fought and died. As I approach the gates of heaven; St. Peter I will tell; one more soldier reporting sir; I’ve served my time in Hell.
- Mark Anthony Gresswell
