Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday that is observed on the last Monday of May. It was formerly known as Decoration Day. This holiday commemorates U.S. men and women who died in military service for their country.

Here is a list of famous quotes that I compiled  for Memorial Day.

And each man stand with his face in the light of his own drawn sword. Ready to do what a hero can.
-Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear.
-Mark Twain

I believe it is the nature of people to be heroes, given the chance.
-James A. Autry

Heroism is not only in the man, but in the occasion.
-Calvin Coolidge

We must be prepared to make heroic sacrifices for the cause of peace that we make ungrudgingly for the cause of war. There is no task that is more important or closer to my heart.
-Albert Einstein

It doesn't take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle.
-Norman Schwarzkopf

Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.
-Billy Graham

Future years will never know the seething hell and the black infernal background, the countless minor scenes and interiors of the secession war; and it is best they should not. The real war will never get in the books. -Walt Whitman

Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come
from the subjects of government. The history of liberty is the
history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of the
limitation of governmental power, not the increase of it
-Woodrow Wilson

In war, there is no prize for the runner-up. -General Omar Bradley
