Happy Memorial Day 2015 Quotes For Friends & Loved Ones

It's a pride for us that we all celebrate this day to show our respect to all those who really deserve it. We are living happily and peacefully with our families in our day to day life, without the fear of terrorism and wars only because of them.
Superb Memorial Day Poem for Friends :
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 forecast;
Give them the chaplets they won in the strife;
Give them the laurels they lost with their life.
Happy Memorial Day Quotes :

To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee.

But, dying, has made us rarer gifts than gold.
