They shall not grow old,
As we that are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them . . 
Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun,
And in the morning,
We will remember them!
-- Lawrence Binyon
"This is sacred soil, and the heart and the 
history of America. If those who fought and died
for us could talk to us on this Memorial Day, they might 
well ask, America, have you made our sacrifice matter?' 
At the dawn of a new century, Americans can answer that 
question with solemn pride. Today we are fortunate to be 
the most powerful and prosperous nation on Earth, with
a military  respected around the world. We could say, 
yes, America has made your sacrifice matter."
President Clinton, Memorial Day 2000
I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the
anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the
cherished memory of the  loved and lost, and the solemn 
pride that must be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice 
upon the altar of Freedom.
-- Abraham Lincoln, November 1864
"War drew us from our homeland
In the sunlit springtime of our youth.
Those who did not come back alive remain
 in perpetual springtime -- forever young --
And a part of them is with us always."
-- Author Unknown
I have fought a good fight
I have finished my course
I have kept the faith.
-- Timothy 2:4:7
Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget
falls drop by drop upon the heart,
until, in our own despair,
against our will,
comes wisdom through the awful grace of God.
Aeschylus.
When he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night,
And pay no worship to the garish sun.
-- Scene 2, Romeo and Juliet
William Shakespeare
If I should die and leave you here awhile,
Be not like others, sore and undone,
Who keep long vigils by the silent dust, and weep.
For my sake - turn again to life and smile
Nerving thy heart and trembling hand to do
Something to comfort other hearts than thine.
Complete those dear unfinished tasks of mine
And I, perchance, may therein comfort you.
-- Author Unknown
