I Am Standing Upon the Seashore
- Henry Van D**e

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side,
spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts
for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck
of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.

Then, someone at my side says, "There, she is gone"

Gone where?

Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast,
hull and spar as she was when she left my side.
And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.

Her diminished size is in me -- not in her.
And, just at the moment when someone says, "There, she is gone,"
there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices
ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!"

And that is dying…

Today we remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice to defend our country and preserve our freedom. We thank you for your dedication and service. Gone, but never forgotten. 🇺🇸

“Honor to the Soldier, and Sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country’s cause. Honor also to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field, and serves, as best he can, the same cause—honor to him, less only than to him, who braves, for the common good, the storms of heaven and the storms of battle.”

“Your calling may be to find new ways to tell the story of redemption, to create fresh symbols that will speak of a home for the homeless, the end of exile, the replanting of the garden, the rebuilding of the house.”

"I Came To Visit You Today”
- by Shauna Ruud

I came to visit you today
To place this flag next to your grave.
The sacrifices you have made
Will forever be indebted this day.

I came to visit you today
To place this flag next to your grave.
It doesn't matter if you fought or not
'Cause with that uniform it doesn't matter what.

I came to visit you today
To place this flag next to your grave.
The memory of what once was you
Still lingers true for those who knew.

I came to visit you today
To place this flag next to your grave
To just say thank you on this Memorial Day.

Did you know? The red field poppy (common poppy) is a symbol of Memorial Day and was one of the first plants to reappear following the brutal fighting of World War I. Soldiers witnessed the poppies regrowing in Flanders Fields, a historical region known for being the site of major battles during the Great War.

In the United States, the red poppy has traditionally been worn on the Friday before Memorial Day, symbolizing recovery and new life. But the symbolism has evolved to encompass all Veterans, living and deceased, and includes Armed Forces Day and Veterans Day.

John McCrae, a Canadian soldier and physician, witnessed the war firsthand and saw the regrowth of the poppies. He was inspired to write the now-famous poem, “In Flanders Fields.”
--------
“In Flanders Fields”
by John McCrae, May 1915

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
