Memorial Day 2010 - "Not for Fame or Reward"

Not for fame or reward
Not for place or for rank
Not lured by ambition
Or goaded by necessity
But in simple
Obedience to duty
As they understood it
These men suffered all
Sacrificed all
Dared all - and died
- Inscription on the Confederate Memorial, Arington National Cemetery
To those who have fallen in the service of their Nation or community - our prayers are with those you have left behind and our eternal gratutide is yours...


Honor the Fallen link (please take a minute of your Memorial Day to remember the fallen of OIF and OEF)
For the US Army's Old Guard, it is Memorial Day every day: Washington Post Article

Grace & peace -
Chris
