Memorial Day 2011



For love of country they accepted death... ~James A. Garfield



The brave die never, though they sleep in dust: Their courage nerves a thousand living men.~Minot J. Savage



It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.General George S. Patton






Lord, we pray for the souls of our dear brothers, called to duty and lost forever on foreign shores. Grant them eternal rest in your arms, these servants of our country, honor and freedom.

Grant that they be remembered...Grant that their sacrifice be understood, and grant them a place at your side in Heaven. "Greater love hath no man than this: that he lay down his life for his friends."
Amen
