"A nation reveals itself not only by the men it produces but also by the men it honors, the men it remembers." – John F. Kennedy

Take a moment today, just to remember. And don't forget to smile. Also – I have a Memorial Day post over at Deep South Moms today.

 

Mansions of the Lord

To fallen soldiers let us sing,
Where no rockets fly nor bullets wing,
Our broken brothers let us bring
To the Mansions of the Lord

No more weeping,
No more fight,
No friends bleeding through the night,
Just Devine embrace,
Eternal light, Poppies
In the Mansions of the Lord

Where no mothers cry
And no children weep,
We shall stand and guard
Though the angels sleep,
Oh, through the ages let us keep
The Mansions of the Lord
