"I
have never been able to think of the day as one of mourning; I have
never quite been able to feel that half-masted flags were appropriate
on Decoration Day.
I
have rather felt that the flag should be at the peak, because those
whose dying we commemorate rejoiced in seeing it where their valor
placed it. We honor them in a joyous, thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did. "
~Benjamin Harrison
In honor of those who have fought and those who died to keep our country free.
