Veterans Day 2018

  1. Never was so much owed by so many to so few – Winston Churchill
  2. Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his country’s cause. Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field and serves, as he best can, the same cause. – Abraham Lincoln
  3. “In order to insure proper and widespread observance of this anniversary, all veterans, all veterans’ organizations, and the entire citizenry will wish to join hands in the common purpose.” – Dwight D. Eisenhower
  4. “This will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.” – Elmer Davis
  5. “Word to the Nation: Guard zealously your right to serve in the Armed Forces, for without them, there will be no other rights to guard.” – President John F. Kennedy
  6. “We remember those who were called upon to give all a person can give, and we remember those who were prepared to make that sacrifice if it were demanded of them in the line of duty, though it never was. Most of all, we remember the devotion and gallantry with which all of them ennobled their nation as they became champions of a noble cause.” – Ronald Reagan
  7. “We sleep safely at night because rough men stand ready to visit violence on those who would harm us.” – Winston S. Churchill

  12. “The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive the Veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation.” – President George Washington
  13. “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.” – Winston Churchill

  1. All of these are beautiful tributes, Sunny. Thanks for compiling these quotes to remind us what this day really means. The last one by Churchill is displayed in Sam's study.

    My favorite is the one by John F. Kennedy.
