QUOTATION FOR MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND
"Heroism is latent in every human soul. However humble or unknown, they (the veterans) have renounced what are accounted pleasures and cheerfully undertaken all self-denials; privations, toils, dangers, sufferings, sicknesses, mutilations, life-long hurts and losses, death itself — for some great good, dimly seen but dearly held."
— Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, Maine college professor who became a highly decorated Union Army officer and won the Medal of Honor for his gallentry at the battle of Gettysburg.
