If you would pardon a paraphrase, consider, if you would seek their monuments, look around you.
Our honored ancestors have served, and worked, and bled, and died, so that Americans can have Memorial Day sales and picnics and Bar-B-Qs an such, if they want to.
What the he!! do you think they would be doing tomorrow?
They were US, WE are them.
Let us live well in honor of those who have paid for our liberties and security.

I agree....living well in Freedom is their best monument.
But....we can afford one day (24 hours at most) to just say "Thank You"...and do so verbally...to them.
