12 Memorable Memorial Day Quotes

1. "A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself."-Joseph Campbell

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

who gave that right to me". - Lee Greenwood
