Courage is fear that has said its prayers. ~Dorothy Bernard

For love of country they accepted death... ~James A. Garfield

Cover them over with beautiful flowers,
Deck them with garlands, those brothers of ours,
Lying so silent by night and by day
Sleeping the years of their manhood away.
Give them the meed they have won in the past;
Give them the honors their future forcast;
Give them the chaplets they won in the strife;
Give them the laurels they lost with their life. ~Will Carleton
