MEMORIAL DAY MESSAGE
We are gathered today to pay tribute to the
memory of those who served their country
when called upon, and who now hand down
to us this torch of freedom to love, cherish
and carry high.
Let us be ever mindful of this heritage and
protect it well against those who would lead
us into despair and disunity
May each succeeding Memorial Day strengthen our
faith in a peaceful world
and a brotherhood of mankind.
