"Our dead brothers still live
for us, and bid us think of life, not death - of life to which in
their youth they lent the passion and joy of the spring. As I
listen, the great chorus of life and joy begins again, and amid
the awful orchestra of seen and unseen powers and destinies of
good and evil our trumpets sound once more a note of daring,
hope, and will."
- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Memorial Day speech, 1884
