Here are a few quotes from the VetFriends.com Memorial Day forum:

"Memorial Day is a day to honor all the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces, that served this great nation to keep this country free. All of the fallen comrades, veterans and those who still serve this nation need to be commended not only on Memorial Day but every day of the year." -U.S. veteran T. Eisenhour

"Whenever I smell the fragrance of lilacs, I think of Memorial Day. It was called Decoration Day when I was in the third grade and we laid lilacs on the graves of veterans. Today, I wear my outdated uniform and march with any veteran groups participating in local parades. God Bless those who are willing to 'Lay down their life for their fellow man.'" -U.S. veteran T. Cromak

"This Day is always special, as a Firefighter we go out and decorate the graves of the brothers who have passed away. Being a U.S. Military veteran, I put American Flags alongside the Fire Company flags for the men who served our country. Thanks to all the families of all the vets. They are all my heroes." -U.S. veteran M. Ercole
