Memorial Day Quotes and a Verse

"Greater love has no one than this,
that he lay down his life for his friends."
- John 15:13

"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."

"These heroes are dead. They died for liberty – they died for us.
They are at rest. They sleep in the land they made free, under the
flag they rendered stainless, under the solemn pines, the sad hemlocks,
the tearful willows, and the embracing vines. They sleep beneath the
shadows of the clouds, careless alike of sunshine or of storm, each in
the windowless Place of Rest. Earth may run red with other wars -
they are at peace. In the midst of battle, in the roar of conflict,
they found the serenity of death. I have one sentiment for
soldiers living and dead: cheers for the living;
tears for the dead."
- Robert G. Ingersoll
*

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill,
that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship,
support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and
the success of liberty."
- John F. Kennedy
*

"The dead soldier's silence sings our national anthem."
- Aaron Kilbourn

"The greatest glory of a free-born people is to transmit that
freedom to their children."

"The purpose of all war is peace."
- St. Augustine

"Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.

Go to sleep, peaceful sleep,
May the soldier or sailor,
God keep.
On the land or the deep,
Safe in sleep.

Fading light, dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright.
From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.

Thanks and praise, for our days,
'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, neath the sky;
As we go, this we know, God is nigh.

Sun has set, shadows come,
Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds,
Always true to the promise that they made.
While the light fades from sight,
And the stars gleaming rays softly send,
To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend."
- TAPS, words by Union General Dan Butterfield
tune by General Oliver Wilcox Norton

Joke - The Dress...

The Dress

Jennifer's wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could
dampen her excitement - not even her parent's nasty divorce.

Her mother found the perfect dress to wear, and would be
the best-dressed mother-of-the-bride ever!

A week later, Jennifer was horrified to learn that her father's
new, young wife had bought the exact same dress as her mother!

Jennifer asked her father's wife to exchange it, but she refused.

''Absolutely not! I look like a million bucks in this dress and I'm
wearing it,'' she replied.

Jennifer explained the situation to her mother who graciously
said, ''Never mind, sweetheart. I'll get another dress. After all,
it's your special day.''

A few days later, they went shopping and located another
beautiful dress for her mother.

When they stopped for lunch, Jennifer asked her mother, ''Aren't
you going to return the other dress? You really don't have another
occasion where you could wear it."

Her mother smiled and replied, ''Of course I do, dear. I'm wearing
it to the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding.''

A Funny - BBQ Rules...

BBQ RULES

We are about to enter the BBQ season. Therefore it is important to
refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking
activity. When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of
events are put into motion:

Routine...
(1) The woman buys the food.
(2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables,
and makes dessert.
(3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along
with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to
the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.
(4) The woman remains outside the compulsory three meter exclusion
zone where the exuberance of testosterone and other manly
bonding activities can take place without the interference
of the woman.

Here comes the important part:
(5) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

More routine...
(6) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.
(7) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is looking great.
He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he
flips the meat.

Important again:
(8) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL
AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.

More routine...
(9) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins,
sauces, and brings them to the table.

(10) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.

And most important of all:
(11) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS
HIM for his cooking efforts.

(12) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed her 'night off', and,
upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's
just no pleasing some women.
