On Memorial Day, Americans honor and remember the military personnel who gave their lives in the service of our country. While the United States has celebrated Memorial Day in one form or another for more than 150 years, it wasn’t made an official federal holiday until 1967! At Writer’s Relief, we salute and remember the brave men and women who sacrificed all to protect our freedom. Here’s a list of our favorite quotes about remembrance and patriotism.
