Let the living give thanks to our honored dead who have paid the ultimate sacrifice that the Constitution of the United States remains our guiding light.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As America celebrates Memorial Day, we pay tribute to those who have given their lives in our nation's wars.
It is rather for us here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion.
Since it is not granted to us to live long, let us transmit to posterity some memorial that we have at least lived.
We must not permit our respect for the dead or our sympathy for the living to lead us into an act of injustice to the balance of the living.
To the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth.
We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Out of profound gratitude for my adopted country, I can only say that I would like in this land to live and die, and while I live to help other people as much as possible, believing that only in service to other people can I possibly express my gratitude for all that America has done for me.
We owe it to our service men and women and their families, who sacrificed so much for our country, to find out the answers they deserve and make care and treatment for them, their children, and their grandchildren a priority.
On this Veterans Day, let us remember the service of our veterans, and let us renew our national promise to fulfill our sacred obligations to our veterans and their families who have sacrificed so much so that we can live free.
In recognizing the humanity of our fellow beings, we pay ourselves the highest tribute.
