From Trump’s Memorial Day Address to Sailors and Marines stationed in Japan:
“Down through history, from America's earliest days, fearless Americans have said goodbye to their loved ones, gone off to war, and stared down our enemies, knowing that they may never, ever return. Memorial Day links every grateful American heart in eternal tribute to those brave souls who gave their last breath for our nation, from Concord to Gettysburg, from Midway to Mosul.”
“Our republic endures because of brave men and women who are willing to lay down their lives to defend us all. Our freedom is earned through the blood, and sweat, and toil, and sacrifice of great American patriots just like you.”
“As we honor America's fallen warriors, we pledge our unwavering devotion to all of those who serve our nation in uniform.”
A Haiku :
But for the bone spurs
I would be among the dead
Memorialized
