Today is the day we honor those members of the military who gave their lives for this country. Let us be happy that such people existed.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.”
— Speech at the Copley Plaza Hotel, Boston Massachusetts (7 June 1945), quoted in Patton : Ordeal and Triumph (1970) by Ladislas Farago [Source]
