"It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God such men lived." – George S. Patton
"I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country." - Nathan Hale
To those who gave it all, for our freedoms and our country we thank you!
On May 5, 1868, General John A. Logan, leader of an organization for Northern Civil War veterans, called for a nationwide day of remembrance later that month. “The 30th of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land,” he proclaimed.
May we keep green the memories of those departed but not forgot soldiers.
