"We should guard their graves with sacred vigilance. ... Let pleasant paths invite the coming and going of reverent visitors and fond mourners. Let no neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided republic." --Major General John A. Logan,
Grand Army of the Republic 1868. Stated in his proclamation honoring the first Decoration Day.
May we never forget, and may we remain forever grateful.
