Memorial Day

Your silent tents of green
We deck with fragrant flowers;
Yours has the suffering been,
The memory shall be ours.

-- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

To those brave patriots who, as Lincoln said, 'gave their lives that that nation might live' (I'm looking at you, Uncle Scott): Thank you! We love you, miss you, and honor you today. Well, today, and every day.
