"Remember us." As simple an order as a king can give. "Remember why we died." For he did not wish tribute, nor song, nor monuments nor poems of war and valor. His wish was simple. "Remember us," he said to me. That was his hope, should any free soul come across that place, in all the countless centuries yet to be. May all our voices whisper to you from the ageless stones, "Go tell the Spartans, passerby, that here by Spartan law, we lie."

"My fellow citizens, our nation is poised for greatness. We must do what we know is right, and do it with all our might.
Let history say of us: `These were golden years -- when the American Revolution was reborn, when freedom gained new life, and America reached for her best.."
Ronald Reagan
