Concentrate Takes A Holiday
We’re taking a break next week. Partly for business and partly for pleasure. It’s Memorial Day weekend, so if you’re like us you’ll be honoring those who’ve served our country while manning the backyard barbecue. We’re also indulging in some site upkeep, tweaking our content and changing some features. Look for a spruced up version of Concentrate when we return on Wednesday, June 9th.
“When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say, For Their Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today”
~An epitaph on the gates of a cemetery in Kohima, India, where Allied war dead are buried.
We’re off next week to make some small changes to the site, and to joy in the long Memorial Day weekend. In commemoration of the holiday formerly known as Declaration Day, we offer up a few appropriate quotes…
The legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great example.
~Benjamin Disraeli
I have never been able to think of the day as one of mourning; I have never quite been able to feel that half-masted flags were appropriate on Decoration Day. I have rather felt that the flag should be at the peak, because those whose dying we commemorate rejoiced in seeing it where their valor placed it. We honor them in a joyous, thankful, triumphant commemoration of what they did.
~Benjamin Harrison
Peace is more important than all justice; and peace was not made for the sake of justice, but justice for the sake of peace.
~Martin Luther King
