    Today (Actually tomorrow U.S. time) is Memorial Day, the day we recognize the warriors who made the ultimate sacrifice. May God bless and may they rest in peace.

    I echo that sentiment Pat. The Kohima Epitaph that we (British) use applies to all.

    When you go home, tell them of us and say,
    For your tomorrow we gave our today.

    This (BIBLIOTHECA) site is devoted to all aspects of military history and the sentiment of the site is best expressed by Simonides of Ceos (556-468 BC) the greek lyric poet who, after the battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC, wrote as a memorial to the valiant defenders ;
    "Go tell the spartans,
    Thou that passeth by,
    That faithful to their precepts,
    Here we lie"
