The memory shall be ours.

A lovely tribute to our fallen men. AS for the quotes, good choices and I fear Einstein may be right.
What a beautiful way to honor those who lost their lives while serving their country. This quote is so moving: "The dead soldier's silence sings our national anthem."
Great quotes, Sylvia! That sunset is breathtaking! It is so sad that there are those whose lives were lost in all the wars. Will it ever stop?
Very beautiful and scenic.

Thank you for a moving post. "The dead soldier's silence sings our national anthem" is a quote I haven't heard before, and it's very powerful and perfect for today.

The words of Einstein are so true.

Lovely shots as usual. Einstein's comment is rather horrifying but it could be so true!
Einstein said it like it is. The bottom photo is absolutely gorgeous.
Lovely photos and post. I'm afraid if there is World War IV no sticks/stones will be left
Wonderful tribute to our military, enjoyed it very much. I'm a first time visitor by way of Gray Quill's blog and will be back to visit soon. Love the music you have playing this morning.
Blessings,
Debra
