"Memorial Day is for the living; the dead are beyond all the fanfare, beyond all grief and pride and horror now. They cast a silence greater than all the speeches and band music and flyovers and 21-gun salutes. ...The mix of joy and sorrow, the quick and the dead, the grief and pride, then and now -- it is all as it should be in a free country aware for a moment of the price of freedom."
