The Resting Place of Veterans

According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Memorial Day is celebrated in late May because that's when flowers are likely to be blooming. General John Logan, who served in the Civil War, urged citizens to adorn the final resting place of veterans with fresh flowers.
“What we need is closer contact and better understanding between individuals and countries, and the elimination of egoism and pride which plunges the world into strife. Peace can only come through universal enlightenment.” – Nikola Tesla; inventor, engineer
Affirmative prayer: Today, I tribute those who have served and died in war, and I affirm that humankind is coming to its senses, that every human soul awakens as an instrument of peace. May we be in a world where we do not live in fear, and a vision of hope, plenty, and peace is realized in our hearts and throughout the land. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
