Yesterday, I attended a brief Memorial Day service at the Korean War Memorial in St. Paul...there was a posting of the colors, a reading of the names (738) of Minnesotans who died/ MIA in the Korean War, a speaker (more on him later), the placing of a battle cross, a playing of taps, and a 21 gun salute.
The Battlefield Cross
The most memorable quote from the speakers speech was an oft-quoted epitaph...
"All gave some...some gave all."
I thought about this as I was standing there looking around at the men (and their families) who survived and also gave their tomorrow so we could have our today...and would like you to consider this phrase for those who serve our country...
"All gave...all."
Lest We Forget
A Korean War soldier searching for his fellow soldier...who is missing, but will never be forgotten.
