Words are even more feeble on this Memorial Day, for the
sight before us is that of a strong and good nation that stands in
silence and remembers those who were loved and who, in return, loved
their countrymen enough to die for them.

Yet, we must try to honor them — not for their sakes alone, but for
our own. And if words cannot repay the debt we owe these men, surely
with our actions we must strive to keep faith with them and with the
vision that led them to battle and to final sacrifice.

– Ronald Reagan
