They grow not old, as we who remain grow old, age shall not weary them,nor the years condemn, at the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we shall remember them. We shall remember them.

A Veteran is a person who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check to the United States of America payable for an amount up to and including the sacrifice of his life.

Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning hush,I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die
