I Do Not Want To Go Back

Words Are Even More Feeble On This Memorial Day, For The Sight Before Us Is That Of A Strong And Good Nation That Stands In Silence And Remembers Those Who Were Loved And Who, In Return, Loved Their Countrymen Enough To Die For Them.

Today, We're Taking A Break From The Concerns And The Bustle Of The Work-a-day World. But We're Also Making A New Beginning... Let Us Renew Our Faith That As Free Men And Women We Still Have The Power To Better Our Lives, And Let Us Resolve To Face The Challenges Of The New Year Holding That Conviction Firmly In Our Hearts. That, After All, Is Our Greatest Strength And Our Greatest Gift As Americans.
