In Memory of the War Dead
and
All Those Who Have Died in the Service of Their Country

*******  This page is especially dedicated to Jerry Menter  *******
KIA, Quang Nam, RVN
July 25, 1947 - May 12, 1969

We cannot revive old factions                 
We cannot restore old policies                
Or follow an antique drum.                     
These men, and those who opposed them
And those whom they opposed                
Accept the constitution of silence            
And are folded in a single party.             
Whatever we inherit from the fortunate 
We have taken from the defeated           
What they had to leave us---a symbol:    
A symbol perfected in death.                   
And all shall be well and                          
All manner of thing shall be well  ... 

T. S. Eliot, "Little Gidding"

R.I.P.

And now, to thought of these -- on these graves of the dead of the War, as on an altar -- to memory of these, or North or South, I close and dedicate my book.

Walt Whitman
