"This weekend is not only a time for us to reflect on the sacrifices that those who went before us have made, but on the current sacrifices of those in uniform," Marine Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters.
Pace said it's also an opportunity for those in the military to rededicate themselves to defending the U.S. Constitution and honor the legacy of the millions of troops who have protected the country's freedoms for more than 200 years.
"There is fear on the battlefield, but I think the truth is that soldiers and Marines in battle fear most that they would either let their fellow soldier or Marine down or somehow let down the legacy that they have inherited," the general said. "And this weekend is a chance for each of us who have the privilege of wearing the uniform to rededicate ourselves to our oath of office and to the legacy that we have inherited."
"It's a time to honor those who gave their lives in service to this country," Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said. "It is also a time to thank those who are currently serving and sacrificing here and overseas, and to their families who make daily sacrifices in service to our country."

Thank you and god bless all of those who have and continue to sacrifice and serve this nation. Thank you today and thank you everyday.
As we stand here looking At the flags upon these graves Know these flags represent A few of the true American brave
They fought for their Country As man has through all of time Except that these soldiers lying here Fought for your country and mine
As we all are gathered here To pay them our respect Let's pass this word to others It's what they would expect
I'm sure that they would do it If it were me or you To show we did not die in vein But for the red, white and blue.
Let's pass on to our children And to those who never knew What these soldiers died for It's the least we can do
Let's not forget their families Great pain they had to bear Losing a son, father or husband They need to know we still care
No matter which war was fought On the day that they died I stand here looking at these flags Filled with American pride.
So as the bugler plays out Taps With its sweet and eerie sound Pray for these soldiers lying here In this sacred, hallowed ground.
Take home with you a sense of pride You were here Memorial Day. Celebrating the way Americans should On this solemnest of days.
Poetry by Michelle R. Christman USMC from 87 - 91, Desert Storm Veteran.
