"Memorial Day was established to commemorate those who died in the defense of our national ideals. Our ideals of freedom, justice and equal rights for all have been challenged many times since then, and thousands of Americans have given their lives in many parts of the world
to secure those same ideals and insure for their children a lasting peace. Their sacrifice demands that we, the living, continue to promote the cause of peace and the ideals
for which they so valiantly gave of themselves."
-- President Ronald Reagan, May 25, 1981
