"Let no vandalism of avarice or 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." -- Gen. John A. Logan (b. 1826-02-09, d. 1886-12-26)
[To my countrymen, I wish you an appropriately thoughtgful Memorial Day (formerly Decoration Day, hence the "undivided" in the quotation) -- let us celebrate what we have while remembering what it has cost.]
