Memorial Day
It's Memorial Day and I thought I'd start a thread dedicated to it. Here are several appropriate quotes that I often share.
We call it "Memorial Day" because "Thanksgiving Day" is already taken.
Memorial Day definition -- Patriotism: Supporting your Country ALL THE TIME and your government when it deserves it.
~ Mark Twain
"Where do we get such men? They leave this ship and they do their job. Then they must find this speck lost somewhere upon the sea. When they find it they have to land on its pitching deck. Where do we get such men?"
--The Bridges at Toki-Ri (1954)

One of my favorite quotes from an unknown source is:
"our flag doesn't fly because of the wind, it flies from the last breath of those who defended it"
There are several versions of this.
