Remembering


For Memorial Day, some of the stories from this weekend of loved ones remembering those lost.

A man remembers his son and shares the book they wrote together.

NJ.com posted a memorial day tribute through quotes. You can read them all here. This is my favorite:
“True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.”
— Arthur Ashe
On the theory that those who have been wounded by war deserve to be remembered as well, here is a piece by Steve Lopez.

You can post memories of vets who died in war here.

I wish I had more interesting pieces to share, but my time for looking up articles was short and the pickings were slim.
