To Those Who Gave Their All

Patricia Bradley Life 11 Comments

I feel my pulses beat, my forehead burn,

When I remember thou hast given for me

All that thou hadst, thy life, thy very name,

And I can give thee nothing in return.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, A Forgotten Grave

      Tim, thanks for sharing the video. The words sounded familiar but I don’t recall whether I have seen this. I enjoyed watching. Edward

      Hi Tim! Thanks for the video. It seemed familiar to me but I’m not sure whether I saw it at the movies or one of our TV stations back in the early 50s used it. I do know one of them ended with the Star-Spangled Banner and a flag waving in the breeze–not that I got to stay up late enough to see very often. 🙂 All the stations signed off at midnight.

    Pat, I appreciate the words of that verse. My dad was in World War II. He was one of those who came home, thanks to God and the many others who gave all.

    Pat, Thank you for sharing this beautiful quote. May we never take for granted the price that was paid for our spiritual and physical freedom.

    Blessings on this Memorial Day!
