Memorial Day


If those who went before us had capitulated from their dream to secure the Blessings of Liberty for Ourselves and our Posterity...

... where would you be today?

... what Quality of Life would you have?

... who would even care?

War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

-John Stuart Mill
