“Let no wanton foot tread rudely on such hallowed grounds. Let pleasant paths invite the coming and going of reverent visitors and fond mourners…If other eyes grow dull and other hands slack, and other hearts cold in the solemn trust, ours shall keep it well as long as the light and warmth of life remains in us.” — from “Memorial Day Order,” May 5, 1868, John A. Logan,
Commander in Chief, Grand Army of the Republic

A loving tribute to my sister-in-law’s brother, whom I never got to meet. Thank you for the freedom I enjoy this day and every day
