Memorial Sayings in 2024

I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country

Those who have long enjoyed such privileges as we enjoy forget in time that men have died to win them.

Over all our happy country – over all our Nation spread, is a band of noble heroes– is our Army of the Dead.

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them.

It doesn’t take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle.

The patriot’s blood is the seed of freedom’s tree

America without her soliders would be like God without His angels.

I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.

Ceremonies are important. But our gratitude has to be more than visits to the troops, and once-a-year Memorial Day ceremonies. We honor the dead best by treating the living well.

I love America more than any other country in the world, and exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.

Heroism is not only in the man, but in the occasion.

My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.

No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks.

The brave die never, though they sleep in dust, their courage nerves a thousand living men.

Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country

I believe our flag is more than just cloth and ink. It is a universally recognized symbol that stands for liberty, and freedom. It is the history of our nation, and it’s marked by the blood of those who died defending it.

America without her soldiers would be like God without His angels.

Heroism doesn’t always happen in a burst of glory. Sometimes small triumphs and large hearts change the course of history.
