  • Happy Memorial Day 2012!
  • "It is, in a way, an odd thing to honor
    those who died in defense of our country
    in wars far away. The imagination plays a
    trick. We see these soldiers in our mind as old
    and wise. We see them as something like the
    Founding Fathers, grave and gray-haired. But
    most of them were boys when they died, they
    gave up two lives -- the one they were living and
    the one they would have lived. When they died,
    they gave up their chance to be husbands and
    fathers and grandfathers. They gave up their chance
    to be revered old men. They gave up everything
    for their county, for us. All we can do is remember."
    -- President Ronald Wilson Reagan
    Remarks at Veteran's Day ceremony,
    Arlington National Cemetery November 11, 1985
  • "For over two centuries, brave men and women
    have laid down their lives in defense of our great
    Nation. These heroes have made the ultimate sacrifice
    so we may uphold the ideals we all cherish. On this
    Memorial Day, we honor the generations of Americans who
    have fought and died to defend our freedom.
  • "On this solemn day in which Americans unite in
    remembrance of our country’s fallen, we also pray for
    our military personnel and their families, our veterans,
    and all who have lost loved ones. As a grateful Nation,
    we forever carry the selfless sacrifice of our fallen
    heroes in our hearts, and we share the task of caring
    for those they left behind." President Barack Obama
    May 27, 2011 Memorial Day Proclamation
  • "I, a humble citizen of this great country USA,
    proudly salute the men and women of our Armed
    Forces all over the world! Thank You for securing
    our freedom, and providing us unmatched safety,
    peace, and making USA the greatest democracy
    in the world!

  • "I moved to USA from India in 1987 to study.
    I became a U.S. citizen in 2008, and voted for the
    first time - this was a terrific experience. I am
    very grateful to USA for providing me great
    education, fantastic work experience, freedom,
    entrepreneurship, and success!! Above all, I am
    very thankful and grateful that I have been able
    to raise a wonderful family and grow here.
  • "As U.S. citizen, I am particularly proud of
    the constitutional first amendment:
    "Congress shall make no law respecting an
    establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free
    exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
    speech, or of the press; or the right of the people
    peaceably to assemble, and to petition the
    Government for a redress of grievances."

    The fourth amendment:
    "The right of the people to be secure in their
    persons, houses, papers, and effects, against
    unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not
    be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but
    upon probable cause, supported by Oath or
    affirmation, and particularly describing the
    place to be searched, and the persons or
    things to be seized."

    The fifth amendment:
    "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, 
    or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a 
    presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, 
    except in cases arising in the land or naval 
    forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service 
    in time of War or public danger; nor shall any 
    person be subject for the same offense to be 
    twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall 
    be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness 
    against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, 
    or property, without due process of law; nor 
    shall private property be taken for public use, 
    without just compensation."

    Finally, the fourteenth amendment:
    "All persons born or naturalized in the
    United States, and subject to the jurisdiction
    thereof, are citizens of the United States and
    of the State wherein they reside. No State shall
    make or enforce any law which shall abridge
    the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
    United States; nor shall any State deprive any
    person of life, liberty, or property, without 
    due process of law; nor deny to any person
    within its jurisdiction the equal protection of
    the laws"
