"We should guard their graves with sacred vigilance. ... Let pleasant paths invite the coming and going of reverent visitors and fond mourners. Let no neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided republic."
To help ensure we don't forget, take time this Memorial Day to learn more about your ancestors who served in the military. FamilySearch.org has more than 100 collections of military records. Also try the National Archives' Access to Archival Databases (AAD).
Fold3, Ancestry.com and MyHeritage, all h ave military collections, as well. Many "premium content" web sites offer free access to military records over the Memorial Day weekend.
