Memorial Day 2012



“To all the fallen, may they be forever young in heaven. To all the wounded, may they have strength and heal. To all the bereaved, may they feel joy again. And please God . . . may there be one day an end to war.”

Nicholas’s toast in An Unwilling Bride by Jo Beverley

That is one of my favorite quotes from any book I've ever read. The words though written for those who fought the Napoleonic wars they apply to any and all affected by war.

Thanks for posting it, Janga.
