The following note was taken from the book "In the words of Ronald Reagan" which I felt was an appropriate way to remember all our fallen heroes on Memorial Day weekend. I hope you agree.
Our young friends-
Yes, young friends, for in our hearts you will always be young, full of love that is youth -- love of life, love of joy, love of country. You fought for your country and for its safety and for the freedom of others with strength and courage. We love you for it. We honor you. And we have faith that, as He does all His sacred children, the Lord will bless you and keep you, the Lord will make His face shine upon you and give you peace, now and forevermore.
Handwritten note left at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, 1988
by Ronald and Nancy Reagan
