A Thank You on Memorial Day
I know Memorial Day is tomorrow but I just wanted to say thank you to those who payed the ultimate cost and to those who served and pay a cost that is often not understood or overlooked. For me President Lincoln's words sums up to me this weekend. Thank you for your sacrifice and service. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Yes indeed. And thank you to the living who risked so much, too. -- Joe --- On Sun, 5/30/10, JayLEads <jayleads@gmail.com> wrote: From: JayLEads <jayleads@gmail.com> Subject: [Utah-astronomy] A Thank You on Memorial Day To: "Utah-Astronomy" <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Date: Sunday, May 30, 2010, 5:08 PM I know Memorial Day is tomorrow but I just wanted to say thank you to those who payed the ultimate cost and to those who served and pay a cost that is often not understood or overlooked.
